HERE’S WHAT YOU DO...
- To make the mint pesto, add all related ingredients except olive oil into a food processor or blender and blend until finely chopped. Stop blender periodically to scrape down sides.
- Season with salt and pepper, then slowly stream in olive oil while processor is running until mixture is a loose paste. Add more olive oil for a looser consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- To prepare the salad, cube or slice watermelon and add to large bowl. Add sliced shallots.
- Pour reserved sardine can oil over watermelon and shallots and gently toss together.
- Cover and let sit until ready to assemble salad.
- In non-stick skillet over medium heat, fry sliced halloumi in 1 tbsp of olive oil, about 1 minute each side until golden brown and heated through.
- Plate halloumi and watermelon. Gently lay sardines over salad and scatter with fresh mint leaves. Drizzle with mint pesto and garnish with capers and chopped pistachios.
