- Fill a medium sized bowl with water. Open pomegranate seeds under water.
- Peel and slice fuyu persimmons.
Cup of Yum
For the Dressing:
- Use a mason jar to combine mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, white wine vinegar, cumin and pepper. Shake to mix.
For the Assembly:
- Combine frisée and mixed greens in a salad bowl.
- Add in persimmons, pecans, onions, goat cheese, and pomegranate seeds.
- Drizzle dressing. Toss with salad tongs until combined.
Notes
- Whenever you use nuts in anything you should always toast them. A quick bake brings out some much flavor in any nut and enhances the texture too!
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C
- Arrange nuts on a baking tray
- Bake for about 5 minutes, remove from oven and mix around on tray. Nuts close to the edge of pan will brown and then burn first.
- Bake an additional 5 minutes or until most nits darken in color a bit.
