The sweetness of the ham is a nice complement to the tartness of the currants. I couldn't find one recipe that used fresh red currants that wasn't a jam or dessert so I made this one up. Ingredients:
1 head romaine lettuce, rinsed, patted dry and chopped |
4 ounces arugula, washed and dried |
4 ounces sliced mushrooms |
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved |
1 shallot, thinly sliced |
1 cup fresh red currants |
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese |
4 ounces honey ham, chopped |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Toss together the romaine, arugula, mushrooms, tomatoes, shallot, currants, Swiss cheese, and ham in a large salad bowl. Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until mixed. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. |
