Recipe Review
Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT
I prepared this salad because I had received fresh persimmons from a person with a persimmon tree. This salad features an unusual combination of ingredients. The endive, with its slight bitterness and good crunch, paired nicely with the sweet fuyu persimmon. I couldn't find any pecans, so I had to use walnuts, but they, too, were nice.
I served this salad to four people, two of us loved it, one doesn't care for nuts, and one thought the dressing needed more punch. If I could have given it 4 1/2 stars, I would have.
What I liked best was the unusual ingredients, and the play of sweet and slightly bitter flavors. I will definitely make this again when I have fuyu persimmons.
