2 Tbsp. Blackberry Ginger Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbsp. OWOC Meyer Lemon EVOO
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
8 cups mixed baby greens
3 kiwifruit, peeled and cut into wedges

This salad presents a new way to enjoy grapes. Roasting the grapes with balsamic vinegar creates a sweet and savory vinaigrette to spoon over a simple salad.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Toss grapes with the vinegar, olive oil, black pepper and salt in an eight-inch baking dish. Roast for 30 minutes or until shriveled and juices are released; cool slightly. Meanwhile, divide greens and kiwifruit between four serving plates. Sprinkle evenly with goat cheese and walnuts. Spoon the warm grape mixture, along with juices, over the salads.
Tip: Add sliced grilled chicken, pork or salmon to serve as a main-course.
