Asparagus Strawberry Salad with Halloumi
It's so very warm here. Well, for Sweden. And for me. Compared to the rest of the world, maybe 28-30°C isn't that much, but for me, it's just awful. I'm not very good with the heat, and I have to cool down any way I can. I grew up with a swimming pool, and oh how I miss it these days!
Asparagus are getting harder to find, but strawberries are everywhere. Make this brilliant salad while you can.
Asparagus Strawberry Salad with Halloumi
(Printable recipe)
Serves 2
300 g strawberries, halved
200 g asparagus, in bite-sized pieces
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
salt, pepper
50 g arugula (rocket), coarsely chopped
1 handful alfalfa sprouts
250 g halloumi cheese, sliced
Boil the asparagus in salted water for 3-4 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl of ice water - this helps the asparagus retain its bite and color.
Place strawberries and asparagus in a bowl with lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Add arugula and alfalfa sprouts, and divide on two plates.
Fry the halloumi in some hot oil, and place on top of the salad.

I would never have thought of putting strawberries with cheese but it sounds so wonderfully summery that I am longing to try it
