Spinach Salad with Persimmons, Pomegranate Seeds and Candied Pecans
This spinach salad with persimmons, pomegranate seeds, and candied pecans is a re-creation of a salad I had last fall. I love the combination of sweet persimmons, tart pomegranate seeds, crunchy candied pecans, and creamy goat cheese. I am so glad I finally tried re-creating this salad because it’s not only beautiful it’s delicious too. I’m thinking it would be wonderful for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

So colourful and inviting!
I may have had persimmons maybe twice in my life. Time to give them a try again. The salad looks delicious.
I’m not a fan of raw onions, so I’d leave those out, but this salad looks amazing! I had never had a persimmon until my daughter brought one home last month!
Yum! I love persimmons and am always looking for more ways to eat them. Sounds delicious!
Absolutely beautiful and health version; I guess these can be for dinner or lunch because its preety much heavy for a supper or brunch or may be as a snack, love the combination you always try to innovate your recipe 🙂 Thank you so much !
