Physalis Salad
Description
Physalis is not a common ingredient on our tables—it's usually used just to decorate desserts and cakes. But you can prepare many delicious dishes with it, and this recipe is a perfect example. For the salad, use berry varieties that pair well with fruits. You can dress the salad not only with sour cream but also with any yogurt; instead of honey, you may use sugar or Jerusalem artichoke syrup. And if you mix honey with lemon or lime juice, this salad will be perfect for fasting days.

Step 2
Remove the outer husk and take out the cape gooseberry. Place them in a colander and pour boiling water over them, then rinse with warm water. This will help remove the waxy coating and the bitterness it causes. Spread the berries on a paper towel and let them dry completely. Place the cape gooseberries in a salad bowl.
