Author Notes

The great thing about this salad is that you can use any apple that you like or change up the fruit, nuts and cheese to make it a year-round or seasonal salad. There really is no perfect recipe. Add whatever you like. —Justforlicks

This salad was a huge hit with guests for two dinners over the holidays. The recipe is deceptively simple but delicious (including the dressing!) and the proportions are just right. I used half romaine and half arugula, but the commentary seems to be right that the ingredients could easily be interchangeable, especially if persimmons are not available. Definitely a keeper!

I discovered Fuyu persimmons this season and like them so much that I'm always looking for new ways to use them. This looks wonderful. I've clipped it and added it to the queue! Thanks.
