Persimmon Arugula Salad

Persimmon Arugula Salad is a good mix of greens and fruit and is very delicious. A beautiful mix of colors, texture, and taste.  A simple vegan salad – rich in vitamins and various nutrients.

Persimmons are bountiful in season this year and I tried out various recipes using Persimmons.

There are mainly two different types of Persimmons that are commonly available – hachiya and fuyu. These persimmons are astringent and non-astringent in kind. I used Fuyu persimmons in this salad. Fuyu persimmons are non-astringent kind and are palatable both before and after ripening. The fruit is slightly crisp and sweet before it is completely ripe.

Fuyu Persimmons have a beautiful texture and design inside. These are versatile and the texture resembles that of somewhere between apple and pear.

This salad is vegan and gluten-free.
