The days are warmer and the sun is setting later. That means we have more time to spend in the backyard. This is a simply delicious and perfect dish for a warm evening with a glass of wine. Halloumi and strawberries are a match made in flavour heaven. 

Sweet juicy strawberries macerated in a lime vinaigrette, draped over golden salty halloumi with hot honey and mint makes a lovely summery appetizer or light meal with grilled bread.
