Strawberry, halloumi, & cucumber summer salad

Strawberry, Halloumi, & Cucumber Summer Salad

A refreshing, tangy, salty-sweet salad that’s perfect for hot days and picnic spreads.

Ingredients:

• 1 pint strawberries, hulled & halved

• 1 block halloumi, cubed

• 3 Persian or small cucumbers, thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses

• A handful of fresh mint leaves

• Nigella seeds, to taste

• Maldon salt, to taste

• Olive oil (optional, for frying)

Instructions:

• Use your favorite plate, or bowl, and assemble the strawberries, halloumi, and cucumber. You can sear your halloumi if you want to, but I’m not today!

• Drizzle with pomegranate molasses and sprinkle with nigella seeds, torn mint leaves, and a pinch of Maldon salt.

• Toss gently and serve immediately- or let it sit for a few minutes to let the flavors mingle

Chef’s Tip:

• Add arugula or torn basil if you want more greens, or top with toasted pistachios for crunch!
