80g Waitrose Freekeh
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
230g strawberries, quartered
250g pack halloumi, cut into 2cm cubes
80g bag watercress, cut into bitesized pieces
½ x 25g pack flat leaf parsley, leaves picked
½ x 20g pack dill, fronds picked

Cook the freekeh according to pack instructions. Drain and cool under cold running water, then drain again. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, use a fork or small whisk to combine 3 tbsp oil with the vinegar, 2 tsp water and a pinch of salt. Toss the strawberries in the dressing.
In a frying pan, fry the halloumi in the remaining 1 tbsp oil for about 1 minute on each side, until golden. Toss through the strawberries until glossy. Layer the freekeh, berries and halloumi, then the watercress and herbs on a platter. Serve immediately.
