Persimmon Pomegranate Walnut Salad

Persimmons are one of my favourite winter ingredients to use as a salad ingredient. They are sweet, meaty, and delicious. And their pretty and bright orange skin will make any dish beautiful and happy. For this easy recipe, you will need just a few simple ingredients:

Persimmons – use whatever persimmons are available where you live. If possible, look for soft but firm or jelly-like flesh (e.g., Fuyu, Hachiya persimmons).

Walnuts – lightly toasted and roughly chopped. You can swap for other nuts, too. Think of hazelnuts, pecans, or almonds. You can also use pumpkin or sunflower seeds.

Pomegranate arils – you can use dried cranberries instead.

Soft goat cheese – you can swap for another cheese of your choice. Feta will be an excellent choice.

A little honey, olive oil, and lemon juice – for a light dressing.

Fresh thyme – just a little bit, for an added flavour.
