MAKES: ABOUT 2½ CUPS
TIME: LESS THAN 10 MINUTES, NOT INCLUDING MARINATING
The secret’s out: grapes, especially sweet and sour red grapes, are fantastic in salads. Marinate them in a simple dressing for a fast “pickled’ grape to boost their sweet-sour flavor even more! Secret bonus recipe: scatter on top of a pizza right before baking, and you won’t believe how great these roasted grapes can be.
½ cup white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons organic granulated sugar
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups seedless red grapes
1 Wash the grapes, slice each in half, and place them in a large glass container or a 2-quart glass jar. Add the remaining ingredients.
2 Screw the lid on the jar or cover with a tight-fitting lid. Shake the container vigorously for a minute and chill for 2 hours or overnight. Use within 2 days for best flavor.
Roasted grapes adds delicious mystery to everything. For use in a salad, roast these pickled grapes at 400°F on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the skins become slightly wrinkled and the grapes are juicy. Cool for a few minutes before adding to salads, as roasted grapes will be very hot!
