Gooseberry Salad

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. However, for some odd reason, I could not get away from thinking about gooseberries as little tomatoes. I decided to make a simple salad that would showcase their unique sweet, tart, and pungent flavor.

Makes 2 salads:

mizuna greens

1 dozen gooseberries (halved)

1/4 red onion (sliced into half-moons & rinsed*)

3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt & pepper

Whisk together the oil, vinegar, and honey. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add the onion to the mix and allow to marinate for 15 minutes. Add the greens and toss until well-coated. Divide salad between two plates and garnish with gooseberry halves, sea salt, and cracked pepper.

*Always rinse any onion slices that are to be served raw. This process removes that unpleasant acrid flavor that raw onion can sometimes have.
