Celebrity chef and restaurateur Michael Mina shares his Halloumi and watermelon salad recipe with Fox News Digital. The recipe appears in his new cookbook, 'My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots.'
Celebrity chef and restaurateur Michael Mina wanted to share his fond memories of the Egyptian food he grew up eating with others. That's the idea behind his new cookbook, 'My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots,' just published on Tuesday. 'I didn't set this up to be a book to say I'm the authority on Egypt. Because I'm not,' the Cairo-born Mina told Fox News Digital in a Zoom interview from his California home. 'I set it up exactly the opposite,' he said.
It was something that my dad would eat all the time,' he said. Halloumi and watermelon salad recipe from 'My Egypt: Cooking from My Roots' 'Watermelon and feta salads are classics in Greece, and this salad borrows from Egypt's Mediterranean neighbors to the north, spiked with a little Urfa pepper for heat,' Mina says in his book.
Serves 4 Ingredients 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil juice and finely grated zest of 1 lime ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more if desired 3-4 oz.
