26 Nov Pecan Persimmon Salad
Fall’s in the air, Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and along with that comes a lot of amazing seasonal food. Unfortunately, a lot of the “seasonal” comfort food that’s popular during the holidays is also super unhealthy and heavy. But it doesn’t have to be!
On a mission to create as many persimmon recipes as I can before they go out of season, I threw together this simple salad that really just highlights the persimmon and would be a great starter to any meal. Making the recipe as is will give you about 4 small salads or 2 larger salads…which would be a great light meal in between the heavy holiday dinners and party food.
