Nov 27 For Thanksgiving--Persimmon-Pomegranate Fruit Salad

November 27, 2013

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I’m planning to make this seasonal salad again this year. It’s a poignant assemblage of flavors and memories for me. Maybe you’ll try it after the holiday while persimmons and pomegranates are still plentiful. Here’s the recipe adapted from Simply Recipes.

Persimmon-Pomegranate Fruit Salad

3 Fuyu persimmons, chopped (½ inch pieces),
¾ cup pomegranate seeds
1 Granny Smith or Fuji apple, cored and chopped (½ inch pieces)
7-10 leaves fresh mint, thinly sliced crosswise (stack them, then roll up like a cigar and take slices from the endchiffonade style)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey

Gently toss all of the ingredients together.
Serves 4
