Blackberries are in season - but if you're not lucky enough to have them where you live, you can definitely use frozen as well. They hold up fairly well when you thaw them - just let them rest on some paper towels to catch some of the juice, and you'll be fine.
The idea for this salad comes from Christer Lingstrom's book Den Goda Sommaren. ("The Good Summer".) And this is good indeed. Really, really good! The salty serrano ham (any dry-cured ham will do) goes so well with the sweet berries, and the bite of the spicy rocket is just perfect. I urge you to try this one!
Blackberry Serrano Salad
Serves 4
100 g rocket (arugula)
80 g serrano ham
125 g blackberries - fresh, or thawed
dressing:
125 g blackberries - fresh, or thawed
50 ml olive oil
1 tbsp runny honey
1,5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
salt, pepper
Start with the dressing. Purée the berries and pass them through a sieve. Mix with olive oil, honey and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. It's good to do this about an hour ahead, so the flavors will have plenty of time to bond.
Arrange salad, ham and blackberries on four plates, and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with a great bread, and you're all set!
