Halloumi, Figs and Walnut Salad
“H” for HEATWAVE
“H” for HEALTHY MEAL IDEAS
“H” for HALLOUMI, Do you enjoy Halloumi cheese?
So I have a fig tree, or 2 around the garden, but have never been able to harvest any for ourselves, as the birds get to them quicker than I can. Do you have any tips that can help me harvest some of the figs this year?
I enjoy adding fresh figs to my salad and here is a Halloumi, Fig and Walnut Salad that is perfect for this unrelenting heatwave we are having in Johannesburg and across many other provinces in the country.
Here is how I made this delicious Halloumi salad, do give this a try and I look forward to seeing your feedback.
Happy Salad Making.
Love Marriam 💕
