Ingredients

4 slices watermelon and 4 slices cantaloupe
250 g Halloumi
200 g snap peas
100 g arugula
115 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 handful fresh basil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 pinches table salt
2 pinches black pepper

Additionally required

4 pieces wooden skewers

Preparation

1
Cut the melons and halloumi into roughly equal-sized, bite-sized cubes. Thread them alternately onto the wooden skewers. Brush the skewers with a little olive oil and season with freshly ground pepper.
2
Grill the skewers on the hot grill for about 2 minutes per side, until the halloumi is golden brown and the melon has light grill marks. At the same time, briefly roast the snap peas with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper in a grill pan or directly on the grill.
3
For the dressing, finely blend the remaining olive oil with the fresh basil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Arrange the arugula on plates. Place the grilled melon-halloumi skewers and roasted snap peas on top. Drizzle everything generously with the basil dressing and serve immediately.

Tipp: Weichen Sie die Holzspieße vor dem Grillen etwa 30 Minuten in Wasser ein, damit sie auf dem Grill nicht verbrennen. Für eine extra fruchtige Note können Sie auch ein paar Tropfen Honig in das Dressing mischen.
