This modern Nordic salad is a high-protein powerhouse that highlights seasonal berries. It functions perfectly as a standalone low-calorie lunch or a premium side for grilled proteins.

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 7 oz (200 g) Halloumi cheese (sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces)
• 2 cups (300 g) fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
• 4 cups (80 g) mixed spring greens
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey-balsamic glaze
• 1 tbsp (10 g) toasted pine nuts

Instructions

1. Pat the Halloumi slices dry with a paper towel to ensure a crisp sear.
2. In a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat, fry the Halloumi slices for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
3. On a large platter, arrange the mixed greens and top with the fresh strawberries and warm Halloumi.
4. Drizzle with honey-balsamic glaze and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts just before serving.

Pro Tips

• High-Protein Profile: Halloumi provides 42g of protein and supports high-protein, low-calorie goals. Strawberries add Vitamin C and fiber, while pine nuts provide healthy fats for satiety.
