Persimmon Mesculin Salad
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • 2 persimmons
  • 1 bosc pear and/or 1 gala apple
  • 1 mango
  • 1 pomegranate (just the seeds)
  • 1/2 avocado (optional)
  • 1/4 cup of raisins and/or cranberries
  • 1/4 cup of crushed walnuts or pecans
  • 2 heaping tablespoons of wheat germ (optional)
  • 1 pound (16 ounces) of MESCULIN SALAD mix (I buy the premade in the bag)
  • 1 lemon (for dressing & preservation)
Directions:

Chop all fruit into thin, bite size pieces and toss it into the mesculin mix. Add the raisins, cranberries, and pomegranate seeds. Sprinkle with wheat germ and crushed walnuts (or pecans). For dressing I just squeeze some fresh lemon juice on it. The lemon juice will also help leftovers last in the fridge for a couple days.

A NOTE ABOUT THE FRUIT: Persimmon's are really easy to cut since they have no pit (just cut the stem off), and keep in mind that they are ripe when really soft - like an avocado. I usually buy presliced mango, but if you buy a fresh one, make sure to peal the skin off. I also buy just the seeds of pomegranates since it can be kind of a pain taking out the seeds yourself. As for the pear and apple, I buy organic and choose to keep the skin on for some extra fiber, but of course I cut the seeds and stem out.

There is really no right or wrong way to make this fruit salad. Make any substitutions necessary to fit your particular taste, such as papaya or kiwi! This just happens to be my favorite combination.

Enjoy!
