Looking for a delicious and easy summer salad? This curly endive salad with sweet nectarines and crunchy fried halloumi is one of my favorites. The combination of the salty halloumi with the crunch of the curly endive and the sweetness of the ripe nectarines is just a match made in heaven.

Tip from Simone
This is one of those super easy salad that you can adjust with whatever you have on hand. No curly endive? It’s also delicious with arugula, romaine or butter lettuce. The nectarine can be replaced with peaches, plums or even apples. And the halloumi can be replaced with goat cheese or feta!
Recipe Ingredients
As mentioned above you don’t need a lot of ingredients for making this simple salad.
- curly endive – the name endive tends to be a bit confusing as there is a lot of overlap between the English terms and the American terms. Belgian endive is something we call witlof and curly endive is usually the green variety. At least that is what I used for this recipe.
- nectarine – any other soft and ripe fruit will be fine to use here.
- halloumi – one of my favorite cheeses and so versatile. If you’ve not tried it, go for the halloumi burger!
- dressing – I basically made a honey mustard dressing for this which works really well.
How To Make The Curly Endive Salad
Making this simple salad is a matter of preparing the different components and mixing them together. Job done!
