Ingredients
Scale
Salad Base
- 10 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 2 persimmons, peeled and chopped into ½ inch pieces
- 2/3 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
- ½ cup honey mustard salad dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large serving dish, place a small round bowl in the center of the dish. Arrange the spring mix salad greens evenly around the bowl, creating a ring around it.
- Add the Toppings: Evenly distribute the chopped persimmons and chopped walnuts over the salad greens around the bowl. Then sprinkle the pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta cheese on top to add color and flavor.
- Finishing Touch – Dressing: Pour the honey mustard salad dressing into the small bowl placed in the center of the salad. This setup makes the salad resemble a festive holiday wreath both visually appealing and convenient for guests to dress their salad.
Notes
- This salad is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the greens and the texture of the toppings.
- If pomegranate seeds are not available fresh, frozen seeds can be used after thawing.
- The honey mustard dressing can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
- For added crunch, walnuts can be lightly toasted before chopping.
- Persimmons should be ripe but firm to avoid mushiness in the salad.
