Method
- Buy fresh sea grapes from a trusted food supplier and keep them chilled but not frozen.
- Pick out shells, debris, discoloured stems, and soft spoiled clusters.
- Rinse quickly in two changes of cold potable water and drain very well; do not soak, which can make the beads collapse.
- Whisk calamansi, vinegar, optional fish sauce, sugar, chile, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Arrange tomato, onion, and sea grapes in a serving bowl without crushing them.
- Pour over the dressing only immediately before eating and toss once or twice gently.
- Serve at once; dressed sea grapes lose their crispness quickly and should not be held overnight.
