This recipe is a symphony of sweet, salty, and savory flavors. The grilled halloumi cheese gets nice and melty, while the watermelon adds a refreshing burst of sweetness. The mint pesto ties everything together with its vibrant herb flavor. It's a taste bud explosion in every single bite, and it's guaranteed to impress your grilling guests!

Plus, it's incredibly easy to make. Perfect for a last-minute appetizer or a light and refreshing main course on a hot summer day.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 block halloumi cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Here's how to make it:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
2. In a small blender or food processor, combine the mint leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. This is your mint pesto!
3. Thread the halloumi cubes and watermelon cubes alternately onto skewers.
4. Brush the skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the halloumi cheese is golden brown and the watermelon is slightly softened.
6. Drizzle the grilled skewers with the mint pesto and serve immediately.
