Farmer John - Mixed Green Salad With Saskatoon Berry Vinaigrette

First of all, let me say that I'm not the greatest speller, so I had to look up how to spell "vinaigrette". Thanks google for not making me look stupid!

We are renovating our 1970's basement with the same contractor who did our kitchen and upstairs bathroom, so we had a planning session/dinner party with them on Sunday. I still had mixed greens from Thursday's delivery so I threw together a salad with goat cheese from Sylvan Star Cheese (avaliable at Kingsland Farmer's Market) and a Saskatoon Berry Vinaigrette. I also added some snap peas from my own garden. I can hardly believe I managed to have some on the vine, since Owen asks daily if there are any peas that are ready. Don't dress the salad until you're ready to eat. I once heard that there's no Viagra for salad.

Saskatoon Berry Vinaigrette

3/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup (175 mL) Saskatoon berries
2 Tbsp (30 mL) honey
1 cup (250 mL) canola oil
salt & black pepper to taste

Simmer berries, vinegar and honey in a saucepan for 4 minutes. Mash berries to desired consistency... I really mashed them up. Cool and mix up with the remaining ingredients. Store unused portion in the fridge.
