Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 teaspoons agave nectar

1 serrano chile, seeds removed if desired, minced

Freshly ground black pepper

6 ounces strawberries, hulled, sliced

1 8-9-ounce package halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices

2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Method

To make the dressing, whisk together 3 tablespoons oil, lime juice, agave nectar, chile, and pepper to taste. Toss with strawberries and set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. When hot, add halloumi. Cook cheese for 2-3 minutes per side without disturbing, until a deep brown crust forms.

Remove cheese from skillet and spoon straw- berry mixture over slices of cheese. Top with mint and cilantro and serve immediately, while cheese is still warm.
