How to Make It

  3. Arrange the halloumi and watermelon over each arepa.
  4. Scatter with mint and finish with lime juice and olive oil.

About This Recipe

Watermelon and cheese is a Mediterranean summer standard — the sweet, cold fruit against something salty. Halloumi, warm and squeaky from the pan, takes it further.
