# Detailed Cooking Steps:

Pour some lime juice and a little balsamic glaze over everything right before you dig in.

Put watermelon and a bunch of arugula on your plates, then drop the grilled Halloumi right on top.

Splash some olive oil into a grill pan and warm it up on medium. Put in the Halloumi cubes, keep space between 'em, and grill them for two minutes on both sides.

01 -
Cyprus-style Halloumi is tough and doesn't fall apart easily, great for the grill.

You can also fry Halloumi in a bit of butter if you want to switch up the taste.
