RECIPE BY Cooking Light

The easiest way to peel persimmons is to cut the fruit into wedges and remove the peel from each wedge with a paring knife. We prefer nonastringent Fuyu persimmons in this salad. Serve with roasted pork or chicken.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb (about 1 large bulb)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 4 persimmons, each cut into 6 wedges and peeled
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled goat cheese

An absolutely exquisite salad, which I wasn't even expecting! Never had persimmon before, and it was incredible - a cross between a non-fuzzy peach and honeydew melon. The thinly sliced fennel was perfect in the vinaigrette, and the goat cheese was just a creamy burst of yumminess to top it all off. My new favorite salad.
