One of my favorite summer recipes has to be this delicious halloumi salad with roasted sweet potato, fried purple onion and fresh mango pieces. The delectable balsamic dressing ties it all together and with a sprinkle of toasted almonds, resting on a bed of leafy greens, this salad is irresistible. I love whipping up this salad when I've got lots of guests over, as it's such a crowd pleaser and healthy too! Nothing beats a nice fresh salad on a summer afternoon. Try and eat this salad straight away, as it doesn't keep well and the leaves will start to wilt.
