Instructions

Most people think of strawberries as something they'd only eat for dessert, but they work so well in salads. Especially when paired with halloumi cheese, which I just love. It's a Cypriot cheese made from goat's or sheep's milk and you can get it from all good supermarkets. It's like a chewy feta but one you can cook with. When fried or broiled it goes all crispy on the outside and soft and slightly chewy on the inside. A brilliant thing to eat.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Gruener Veltliner

Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gruener Veltliner are my top picks for Salad. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. One wine you could try is Louis Guntrum Dry Riesling. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.

Louis Guntrum Dry Riesling

The 2016 Louis Guntrum Dry Riesling has a delicate fragrance of white peaches, apricot and juicy pears. Impressive mouthfeel, and lasting flavors. The classical Riesling in expression and elegance.
