Pear, Persimmon & Pomegranate that you will make again and again during the Fall! It is loaded with delicious ingredients including persimmons, pears, feta, spinach, and pecans!
This persimmon, pear and pomegranate salad is so delicious! Do you like persimmons? If you don’t know the answer to that question I highly recommend you get your hands on a persimmon while they are still in season and figure it out! My hope is that you enjoy them as much as I do, they are such a Fall treat and are delicious in salads, like this persimmon, pear and pomegranate salad. I also love to put them in my smoothies as they add sweetness without using refined sugars.
This salad highlights some of my favorite Fall flavors: persimmons, pomegranates and pears with the addition of avocado, walnuts and feta. The dressing is a simple balsamic with a little fresh citrus to give it a kick.
How To Make This Salad & Dressing
To make the dressing add white balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper, dijon, and tangerine juice to a small jar. Tighten lid and shake until well blended. Refrigerate until you assemble the salad and shake again before pouring over salad.
Assemble salad by adding all ingredients in a large serving bowl, with greens on bottom.
Mix in dressing right before enjoying salad!

I made this salad for Thanksgiving dinner! But I didn’t add pears to it – great idea!! I also used hazlenuts instead of pecans. I love love love hazelnuts. I also used lemon tarragon dressing – similar to balsamic with citrus. Love this salad – thanks for the ideas!
Ohh hazelnuts sound divine! Also lemon and tarragon… yum! Thanks, Erin!
Oh, YUM!! I’m loving every single thing about this salad, from the main ingredients to the vinaigrette! I’m also loving the cadence and alliteration in the title of the recipe 🙂

This sounds so flavorful! Persimmon is new to me, but I’ll bet it’s amazing with all the other flavors to compliment 😀
I hope you get a chance to try! Thanks, Chrisy.
This is so gorgeous!! I’ve never tried persimmons before, but it’s probably high time to correct that. 🙂

Thanks, Susan!
I’m a sucker for a good salad, and this one looks delicious! Thanks for sharing – I can’t wait to try it out!
xo,
Tami
Me too! I hope you enjoy the salad, Tami.
What a wonderful sounding side salad, stick this along a pan fried duck breast and I reckon you have a perfect meal.
That sounds like a great combo Brian!
Delicious salad and perfect for the holidays! I made it without the feta and walnuts because I didn’t have any and subbed Asian pears for the regular pears. The dressing, fruit, and greens blended together nicely and everyone loved it, including my teenage boys and my 70-year-old parents. It was the perfect light salad to go with smoked ribs and crispy oven-roasted potatoes.
Thanks for sharing Carol, I’m so glad that you and your family enjoyed this salad! I love the idea of adding Asian pears in place of pears, sounds delicious!
