Chargrilled Asparagus and Halloumi Salad
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.
