There's a heatwave
in England! I certainly don't want to complain, but I still prefer
staying in the shades. However my plants like this weather very much
as long as I water them enough.
In this sort of
heat it's good to eat lightly, just some fresh produce. Fruits are
among the best choices that can be done, but as you might know, I
really prefer savoury dishes to sweet ones, so I do add fruit to
savoury salads like this one. I nearly always add cheese to salads as
that makes them filling enough to be a stand-alone dish. This is a
perfect salad to be had with a vegetarian barbecue as you can grill
the halloumi at the same time.
Have you ever
added fruit to your salads? Please share your taste experiences in

Ingredients
4-6 nectarines
1 pomegranate
200 g strawberries
Mixed salad leaves
250 g halloumi
cheese
Vegetable oil for
grilling (not needed, if a charcoal barbecue is used)
Method
Chop the
nectarines and strawberries into small cubes and remove the
pomegranate seeds. Place these into a salad bowl on the top of mixed
salad leaves.
Grill the halloumi
cubes so that they get distinct grilling marks. Grill them either on
a griddle pan or on a char-coal grill outdoors. Add the halloumi warm
to the salad.
Enjoy the salad
and stay cool!

Oh so yummy! The weather is a little weird here in California. It's cloudy and cold in the mornings, but the sun and heat comes in strong around 2 in the afternoon. I love this recipe because it reminds me of one that I ate yesterday. Fruit is definitely the best choice during hot weather; my plants are happy too as long as I water them enough. x)

I have never been to California and it's hard to imagine the weather over there, but you must be used to the warmth anyway. It's a very humid heat here a the moment. After the cool early June, it's now almost constantly warm and sunny here in England.
DeleteHave a lovely summer too and eat a lot of fruit! :D
