I love seasonal fruits and vegetables.  Persimmons are the best during the fall weather.  Here is a perfect salad for any holiday party. Love the tangy, lemony dijion mustard dressing.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups baby kale

1 1/2 cup Persimmons, peeled and cut into thick wedges

1/4 cup pecans (roasted optional)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 shallot, thinly sliced

For Dressing:

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoon Dijion mustard

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 small chopped shallot

Crushed black pepper

Step 1

Whisk together honey, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.  Add mustard and continue to whisk.  Add chopped shallots and let the dressing sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Pour the dressing on baby kale and sliced persimmons and massage the salad mix for 3-5 minutes.  Add roasted pecans, grated Parmesan cheese and sliced shallots before serving
