Ingredients
- 2 pounds Fuyu persimmons and/or Honeycrisp Apples
- 8 ounces Radicchio or Treviso
- 4 ounces baby kale or another hearty green
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- 3 tablespoons candied walnuts or marcona almonds
- ½ cup crumbled feta (I prefer to buy the one in the brine) optional
Instructions
- Cut off the tough green tops and slice each persimmon in 10 to 12 wedges.
- In a small jar, combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, shallot, cumin, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Tightly cover and shake hard to mix well. Taste the dressing on a small piece of persimmon. There should be just enough red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. If you'd like it hotter, add more and shake again
- Combine the persimmons, radicchio, kale and the dressing in a work bowl and toss to coat well. Turn the salad out into a decorative bowl and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and walnuts. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Not a fan of or can't find persimmons? Just use all crisp apples. Delicious and different!
