Here is the simple summer salad of your dreams. It features halloumi, a unique Greek cheese known for its ability to be grilled or even pan-fried to soften without completely melting, leaving no mess behind. Mixed with colourful and flavourful cantaloupe, cucumber, and mint, this beautiful salad is sure to get some serious rotation in your summer repertoire. The best way to choose the perfect cantaloupe is to make sure it smells fragrant and gives just a bit at the stem end when pressed with your thumb. If you can’t find any mint, basil would be a perfect stand-in.
