Squeaky, sweet salad - you can make friends with salad

Squeaky, sweet salad was an invention of necessity - it comprised the items left over in my fridge with a drop of adventurousness!

Ingredients

1 punnet (container) of strawberries 250g
1 packet of haloumi cheese 180g (most supermarkets have an organic version)
2 small avocados
1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Method
* Most haloumi comes in a rectangular block which I cut into 1cm strips before cooking. Grill or pan fry (with a little oil) the haloumi and set aside to cool on a paper towel.
* Take the green tips off the strawberries and cut each one in to four pieces
* Cut up the avocado in to small squares (similar in size to the quartered strawberries)
* Cut up the cooled haloumi into small squares (I do it smaller than the strawberries as the texture is still 'unique' for the kids)
* Put all the diced ingredients in to a bowl and drizzle over the olive oil.
* Toss before serving

The combination of salt, good fat and sweetness is delicious :)
