Halloumi is loved for its robust texture and deeply savoury flavour – plus its capacity to be grilled, barbecued or fried without losing its shape. It’s very versatile and make a tasty light meal, perfect for hot summer evenings. There are some great New Zealand styles too.
Kate, the creative genius and founder of the bespoke label Elka Knitwear is also a food lover and talented cook. We guess that’s the way with truly creative people, they can make most things a work of art. She is a fan of our The Sisters Rosé and especially for you has created a special summer salad. It combines halloumi, zucchini and broad beans and is dressed with a fabulous Rosé vinaigrette.
This salad is easy to put together and tastes wonderful. Most of the elements can be prepared in advance, so you can pull it together quickly. It is ideal for an impromptu lunch with friends, or to take to a BBQ. Serve it with a nicely chilled Rosé and it’s just perfect!
