Ingredients
5 slices Just Essentials by Asda Wholemeal Bread, crusts cut off
4 tsp Vegetable Oil
? Cucumber
300g pack Crisp & Juicy Watermelon Fans, rind cut away, halved to make thinner wedges
1 small Red Onion, very thinly sliced
1 Lemon, half zested, all juiced
200g pack Melis Halloumi Grilling Cheese with Mint, thinly sliced
60g Asda Baby Leaf Salad
30g pack Asda Cool & Refreshing Mint, leaves picked
Method
1
For the crispy bread, heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6, or use an air fryer. Roll out the bread slices thinly with a rolling pin, then lightly brush both sides with oil. Season.
2
Bake the bread on a baking sheet for 10–15 mins, turning halfway until golden and crisp. Or cook in an air fryer, 2–3 slices at a time laid directly in the base of the basket, for 5–7 mins at 200°C. Leave to cool.
3
Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthways and use a teaspoon to scoop out the seedy middle. Slice the rest of the cucumber into moons. Put the cucumber, watermelon chunks, red onion, lemon zest and juice into a large mixing bowl. If you find raw red onion too strong, simply sit slices in a sieve and pour over a little boiling water from the kettle before using. Toss everything together with some pepper and salt.
4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the grilling cheese slices for 1–2 mins on each side until golden and crisp.
5
Snap the now cooled, crispy bread into chunky shards and roughly tear grilling cheese slices in half. Add to the watermelon mix with the salad and mint leaves and toss again with your hands or the tongs before serving.
