Time of preparation: 30-45 min
serves 2 portions
Makings of salad (can be just lettuce or those salad bags)
2 medium strawberries, chopped in small chunks
2 tbspoons of olive oil
2 tbspoons of sugar
2 tbspoons of balsamic vinegar
1 onion (medium size) in thin slices
For the caramelised onions:
On a nonstick pan, heat the olive oil and add the onion, the sugar and the 2 spoons of balsamic vinegar. Stir well in medium heat for 15 minutes. The volume of the onions will reduce drastically. Lower the heat and let it cook, stirring occasionally for 15-30 more min (depending on the stove). If you think it is getting too dry (there should be a small sticky juice), add 1 or 2 more spoons of vinegar. It is done when the onions are cooked and soft.
Turn off the heat and let it cool down.
For the salad:
In a plate, distribute the salad, the chopped strawberries. If you want, you can also add croutons and raisins.
Distribute the caramelised onions on top of the salad. Add 3-4 tbspoons of water to the pan, to scrape the flavour goodness from the bottom. Distribute this sauce over the salad.
Suggestion: you can serve this salad with toasted bread topped with goat cheese (slightly grilled) on the plate.
