Watermelon, Spinach Salad with Corn and Haloumi

Mix the butter, coriander, chilli and lemon zest together. Rub over the corn.

Heat a BBQ or griddle pan on a medium heat. Season the corn with salt and pepper. Cook the corn until nicely coloured on all sides. If you are using a pan, pop a lid on.

Once the corn is cooked set aside to cool.

Slice the water melon into long 1-2cm slices. Place in a colander and set aside.

Slice all of the other ingredients and set aside.

Using a sharp knife remove the corn off the cob and set aside.

Sprinkle the Moroccan seasoning over the haloumi. Fry it in a pan on a medium heat with a good glug of oil.

Layer the salad starting with half the watermelon, half the corn, some spinach, red onion, mint leaves and thyme. Then layer the remaining ingredients, topping with the sliced avocado, haloumi and chopped almonds.
