A delicious and distinctive salad that packs some flavor. Take care when pairing this salad with a main course as it is full of unique and strong tastes. It works best (for me) alongside duck or beef.

Directions

Ingredients

  • 1 1⁄2 cups Bing Cherries, pitted
  • 1⁄3 cup Balsamic Vinegar

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine cherries with balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove and let them cool completely, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Put greens and onion in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
