Haloumi Salad with strawberries is a real winner for a quick and easy summertime lunch or picnic. Very little preparation and a wonderful taste delivered in minutes. The dish makes a great starter for a more formal dinner or is just as good served on its own with a bottle of wine. No stress and a simple to prepare dish that has the full flavours of summer. Perfect for vegetarians and cheese-lovers alike, haloumi is an impressively versatile ingredient to cook with. Haloumi holds its shape well, is mild enough to take on other flavours.

Wine Matching Strawberry Haloumi Salad
As Haloumi Salad is delicately flavoured we decided to serve Benjamin Darnault Pique Nique Rose 2020. Top-drawer rosé that’s fresher than a morning daisy. Think freshly crushed strawberries with a couple of raspberries thrown in to boot, combined with freshly whipped cream and a nice sharp bite. Top-drawer rosé and fresh as a morning daisy. Ben gets his grapes for this wine from a cooperative high in the Languedoc hills – so you’re getting boutique quality rosé for a supermarket snip! Available from Naked Wines
