A DELICIOUS FINISH
What should you serve with it?
Wine or beer
Sauvignon Blanc or Belgian blond ale
Halloumi’s saltiness and asparagus’ green notes need freshness and clear acidity. Sauvignon Blanc is especially friendly with asparagus; blond ale adds gentle malt without heaviness.
ALCOHOL-FREE OPTION
Elderflower drink with lemon and cucumber.
