1 x 350 g punnet Woolworths roasting vine tomatoes
1 bulb fennel
2 T extra virgin olive oil
2 T red wine vinegar
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
200 g halloumi cheese, cubed
Microherbs, to garnish
10 g basil
Method
Slice the strawberries and tomatoes into chunks. Shave the fennel bulb into wafer-thin slices using a vegetable peeler or slice very thinly using a sharp knife. Toss with the strawberries and tomatoes. Dress with the olive oil, red wine vinegar and season to taste.
Heat a nonstick pan over a medium heat, then dry-fry the halloumi for 30 seconds on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and dot onto the salad. Top with micro-herbs and fresh basil.
Cook's note: The salty cheese, acidic tomatoes and sweet-tart strawberries are the season's flavour match.
