The Goldenberry is also referred to as the Peruvian Ground Cherry. Native to Peru, Columbia, and Ecuador and resembles a tomatillo due to its outer paper-like shell. Goldenberries are often used to make jams. They are also fantastic in salads with avocado and as a garnish for desserts.
One of my favorite ways to use goldenberries is pureed with flavorful fresh ingredients and used as a vinaigrette. Here, goldenberries are pureed with apple cider vinegar, fresh mint leaves, and shallot for a delicious, healthy, #SOBikini vinaigrette for use on many types of salads. This vinaigrette is a perfect compliment to fruit salads, mixed green salads with dried fruits like cranberries and apricots, nuts of cashews and walnuts, and even pumpkin seeds. I’ve chosen to toss it with iceberg lettuce and fresh strawberry slices. To make this a meal – add sliced, grilled chicken or tempeh, if you are vegan.
