1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme

1. In a large, shallow dish, combine all ingredients except
cheese.
2. Add cheese and toss to coat. Let stand, covered, at

<i>Queso fresco</i>, which means "fresh cheese" in Spanish, is
similar to mozzarella in flavor but has a firmer texture. Several
brands are now available in the dairy section of most
supermarkets. This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the
refrigerator for three days.
