Method

Cut the watermelon into chunks and the cucumber into thick half-moons and arrange over the rocket on a plate. Squeeze the lime over.
Slice the halloumi 1 cm thick and cook in a dry, hot pan for two minutes a side until golden.
Lay the hot halloumi over the cold fruit, trickle the oil over, and finish with the mint, chilli flakes and pepper.

Worth knowing

The contrast is hot and salty against cold and sweet, so the halloumi goes on straight from the pan and the melon comes straight from the fridge.
Ninety grams of halloumi is 288 kcal, two-thirds of the plate. The rest is mostly water and leaves.
