This is from Redbook's Go Greek! spread. The recipe is written for a crowd, but can easily be pared down, if needed. Ingredients:
2 limes |
1 garlic clove, crushed through a garlic press |
1 red jalapeno chiles or 1 green jalapeno, minced |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
2 tablespoons capers |
4 lbs seedless watermelon, quartered lengthwise cut into thin slices (mix yellow and red if possible) |
8 7/8 ounces halloumi cheese |
1/2 cup fresh mixed sprouts (arugula sprouts or radish sprouts) |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill for medium high heat; brush grates with oil.
2. Combine grated zest from 1 lime, juice from 2 limes, garlic, jalapeno, salt, sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved; whisk in 1/4 cup oil to emulsify, then stir in capers.
3. Arrange watermelon slices on a large platter.
4. Halve cheese, diagonally, then cut each half (cut side down) into 3 thin slices; brush cheese with oil and grill until golden and grill marked, about 2 minutes per side.
5. halve the grilled cheese slices and scatter among the watermelon on the platter.
6. Spoon dressing over all and top with spicy sprouts.
