I love using fruits in savoury recipes. Here strawberries add just the right amount of sweetness and juiciness to this summery salad. Make sure to also try my grilled halloumi salad with nectarines.

I love grilled halloumi but you can replace it with goat cheese or omit it entirely to make this dish vegan.

You can make the salad (without the halloumi) up to 4 hours ahead and keep it in the fridge. Just grill the cheese at the last minute.

I usually serve this Strawberry & Kale Halloumi Salad with the dressing on the side.

I hope you enjoy this strawberry & kale halloumi salad recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
