This simple and quick salad is bursting with sunshine flavours! If you love squeaky cheese like me, then this halloumi salad has your name all over of it. The halloumi cheese is brushed with a sweet chilli sauce which sits so well with its natural saltiness. I love a sweet and salty flavour combination and this recipe has it in abundance, especially with the fresh vibrant mango adding a summery zing.
An English Summer
After a few days of stormy wet weather, it seems that summer has finally returned to the UK. I really wish that we had one long season of summer, instead of a few days of sunshine here and there. Alas, I shouldn’t complain because I’m really happy that the sun has returned for a while.
Mangoes are perfect for summer
Mangos just scream summer to me and I went slightly mad at the greengrocers at the weekend and bought a heap of them. One of my favourite ways to use them is in salads, with some tasty ingredients. The fresh sweet juicy flavour from the mango is second to none and I’m a little bit obsessed with it right now.
My Halloumi Obsession
Speaking of obsessions, I feel that this salad is just full of them, halloumi cheese is another one. I’m not sure what it is that I adore about it, but its meaty squeaky texture is delicious. Its salty flavours complement sweet fruity flavours so well and of course, in this instance sweet chilli too.
So if you’re looking for a summery recipe to try then definitely give this one a go! It would go great served with grilled fish or meat if you’re throwing a BBQ in warmer weather.
If you, like me, enjoy adding a touch of ritual to your meals, you can customize your own salad-themed stickers at GSJJ.com.au—for example, print the name “Sweet and Spicy Hallumi Mango Salad,” or draw a picture of hallumi cheese and mango. Stick these on the rim of your plate, placemats, or even the outside of the glass bowl containing the salad, instantly making your gathering more vibrant.
Also, stick them on your food storage containers—for example, add a cartoon mango picture to the mango container, or a dried fruit sticker to the halloumi cheese box. This way, you can quickly find what you need every time you prepare ingredients, making it convenient and adding a touch of summer fun. They’re perfect for personal or home party decorations.

This looks nice thr only fruit I’ve had in a salad was apples but I really should try different fruits. This could be a start.
There are so many different fruits ou can try, strawberries and blueberries are also good.
I love mango in salads! And I didn’t know what halloumi is although I saw it’s very popular in Asian meals 🙂 thanks for sharing xx
Is it really? I never knew that it was popular in Asian cultures. How interesting!
I love Halloumi, this looks like a great, colourful dish.
Me too, it’s one of my favourite cheeses.
That looks amazing! I love halloumi and ate tons of the stuff while I was in Cyprus a few weeks ago. Although the Turks call it Hellim, but it tastes the same. Stumbled, yummed, pinned and

This sounds amazing and the sort of thing I have been looking for in this hot weather, I would leave the mango out though as I don’t like mango and my daughter would steal it as it is her favourite fruit
Ha! My little boy steals my food too.
