“Honeydew melon is great for grilling, holding its shape well on the barbecue,” says Honey & Co founders Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich. who created these Melon and Halloumi Skewers. The pairing of melon with salty halloumi and a zingy mint and chilli salsa it makes a simple but showstopping skewer. Aim to keep the melon and halloumi pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in hot water for 30 mins to stop them catching on the grill. This recipe makes 8 skewers.Time and servings
