You'll want to eat the cheese as soon as possible after it comes out of the pan-it's most magical when hot.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 4-6

　　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

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

　　2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

　　2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

　　

Step 1

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

　　

Step 2

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.
