Ingredients

  1. 4 ounces fresh blueberries
  2. 3 ounces red currants
  3. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, divided
  4. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  5. 1 tablespoon fresh marjoram, stems removed
  6. 1 habanero pepper, seeded and minced
  7. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  8. 2 tablespoons agave syrup
  9. 2 limes, divided
  10. ½ cup cashews
  11. 8 ounces halloumi cheese, cut into 8 slices

Instructions

  1. Place blueberries and red currants into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons mint, 2 tablespoons cilantro, marjoram, habanero, olive oil, agave syrup, and juice of 1 lime. Mix and set aside.
  2. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium-high heat. Cook cashews until browned, stirring often to keep from burning, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer cashews to a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium and brown halloumi cheese slices, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  3. Place halloumi cheese onto a plate, top with berry salsa mixture and remaining 1 tablespoon mint and cilantro. Chop cashews and spread on top of halloumi. Garnish with lime wedges from remaining lime. Serve immediately.
