Recipe: Italian Persimmon Salad

June 10, 2015 by Michelle Leave a Comment

The original (astringent) persimmon has been grown in Australia for almost 150 years, most commonly as a decorative tree in domestic gardens. Sweet persimmons (non-astringent) were introduced to Australia in the late 1970s and now comprise more than 90 per cent of local production.

Persimmons are a good source of vitamin C and beta carotene, high in fibre and fat free. So what better way to serve them than in this delectable looking salad.

Italian Persimmon Salad

Serves 4


Ingredients
2 sweet persimmons
200 grams endive, radicchio or rocket salad
1 cup parmesan shavings
1/2 cup toasted almonds
olive oil and balsamic vinegar for serving
sea salt and cracked black pepper for serving

Picture 090

Method
Remove the stalk/calyx then peel and slice persimmons into thin pieces.

Divide the salad and persimmon between four plates.

Top with parmesan shavings, toasted almonds and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

Note: This salad makes a great accompaniment to any grilled or barbequed meats. Can be served as a light meal or entree. Add some cooked prawns for a simple variation.

About Michelle

My blurb went missing... so now I have to bring you a new one. One that is a little broader too.
I devour books, vampires and supernatural creatures are my genre of choice but over the past couple of years I have broadened my horizons considerably.
I inhale music, hair metal that satisfies my inner bogan is where my musical passion lies, but again I've been exposed to lots of different music I wouldn't normally listen to and have broadened those horizons also.

In a nutshell - I love to write! I love interacting with a diverse range of artists to bring you interviews.
Perhaps we were perfect before - I LOVE WORDS! Reading, writing, speaking, listening - if it's got words I'm there!
