Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Perfect as a light lunch or to accompany a barbecue, this Strawberry & Kale Halloumi Salad as a simple dressing of oil and balsamic vinegar.

I love using fruits in savoury recipes. Here strawberries add just the right amount of sweetness and juiciness to this Summery salad.

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.
