Quick and simple, but satisfying in its contrasts of flavors and textures. Be sure you are using Fuyu persimmons or you are in for a pucker surprise.

INGREDIENTS:

6 cups Little Gem lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-sized bits
2 fuyu persimmons, peeled and cut into ½ inch dice
1 cup celery, washed and cut into ¼ inch dice
1-2 buttery avocadoes, cut into ½ inch cubes
1 cup microgreens
½ cup pistachios, roasted and lightly salted
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Apple White Balsamic Dressing (see recipe)
 

METHOD:

Combine the lettuce and celery and dress just enough to moisten. Toss to combine.

Add the persimmon and gently combine, adding a little more dressing if it needs it.

Add the avocado and gently fold in. Distribute amongst four plates, then top with a clump of sprouts, then scatter the salads evenly with the nuts. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Serves: 4
