Notes
- Variations - swap the lime juice for lemon juice if desired. You can also slice the persimmons a variety of different ways, from rings to dice or even slicing them into strips.
- Leftovers - the salad looks the most vibrant when it's freshly made, but you can store leftovers for 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container.
