Asparagus is only here for a short season, and we love to chargrill ours and add to salads, grains or simply serve with Halloumi.

Chargrilled Asparagus and Halloumi Salad

asparagus blog

I love this salads so versatile, can be enjoyed on it own, or an accompaniment to fish, beef or lamb. Especially during

asparagus seasons the sweetness once you chargrill against the salty halloumi, and the crunch of the nuts, makes this

our go to salad in Spring and the beginning of Summer.
