  • Yum ! I’m not one who likes balsamic vinegar and olive oil on my salad, but that’s easy to leave out.

  • This looks like an interesting and yummy salad. I’ve never eaten persimmons so I’m not sure of flavour or what I should expect. Would perhaps prefer to try this kind of salad made for me first!!!

  • I have to say persimmons are the only fruit or veg I can say I honestly hate, I put it in my mouth and start dry retching, not sure why. Sorry to all those persimmon lovers (my hubby is one of them)
