List of ingredients for Pork and strawberry salad with grilled halloumi cheese


* 200g fresh strawberries
* 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar (or Balsamic glaze)
* Juice and Zest of 1 Lime
* 1 small Basil plant (supermarket-type)
* 5 tablespoon of Extra virgin olive oil
* 200g Halloumi cheese, sliced to 5mm
* 10 fresh Mint leaves, finely chopped
* A small bag of tender Salad leaves
* 1 small red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
* 120g selection of continental Meats (eg: Morrisons 'Spanish Platter')
* Salt and Freshly ground black pepper


===Method===
* Pick most of the Basil leaves and gently Fry for 5 minutes in 5 tablespoons of Olive oil
* Allow to cool and drain the Oil in a Sieve and discard the leaves
* Fry the sliced Halloumi in a Frying pan or Griddle tray for 2 minutes a side, moistening the pan with a smear of Olive oil
* Remove the Cheese allow to cool, then chop into smaller slices
* De-hull the Strawberries (my long-nosed plier tip works brilliantly on strawberries that are not over-ripe). Cut the strawberries into thin slices.
* When the Basil infused Oil has cooled, mix it with the Juice and Zest of 1 Lime and a pinch of Salt and Black pepper
* Add the Strawberries and the Oil to a bowl and leave them until you are ready to put the dish together. Drain and reserve the Strawberry/Basil oil to use a a final dressing.
* With the cold sliced Halloumi as a base, build the Salad in layers with the salad leaves, mint leaves, sliced onions, Spanish meats and the remaining fresh basil leaves. Finally drizzle with the flavoured Olive oil.
* This dish was fantastic, I loved the idea so much that some more Strawberries have already been bought to go with Sunday's Roast pork!
