Behold... my latest and greatest big giant salad concoction... a Brussel Sprout Salad with Persimmons!
This Brussel Sprout Salad with Persimmons is truly one of my favorite winter salads to date!
This quick and easy salad is loaded with shaved Brussels Sprouts (yes you can eat them raw!) plenty of pomegranate seeds, sweet candied walnuts, persimmons and honey crisp apples, creamy avocado, feta and a very very easy dressing. I made this for Friendsgiving about a month ago and it was oddly one of the first things to go! Everyone loves the combo of honey crisp apples and persimmons plus the feta! It's pretty damn near perfect and would go great alongside any type of roast chicken, turkey, steak, pork... you get the idea!

Gaby - I made this for Thanksgiving this year and it was DELICIOUS! Bonus for me who was traveling between two states, this was the only dish with no leftovers (and I made triple to make sure there was "more than enough" to go around). Thank you as always for the delicious food!
I used roasted Brussel Sprouts instead of raw, because I had left overs. Made this salad and it was incredible - every year at this time, I wonder how to eat Persimmons. FYI: CHRISTMAS. I was in William Sonoma recently and bought your "Lemon Pepper Parmesan" as a pre-Christmas gift for myself..... love the lemon taste. And I use it every day, in and on different recipes. Thank you for this!
I see you have another version very similar but with radicchio and baby kale. I'm very interested in trying both! Love brussel sprouts but I've never eaten them raw. So curious. Also love the bitterness of the inherent leaves I think that will be a nice contrast to the sweet components. And I bet that dressing and the salty creamy feta just ties it all together! Oh man.... on my way to the grocery store.
I am making this salad tomorrow AM for a Gal pal holiday lunch. I tried 3 different chains in Indy—no luck finding persimmons. I bought a pineapple, not sure what to do—but giving this a try. It looks yummy!
just use apples!
could you use mixed greens instead of Brussel sprouts?
Yum! Always looking for new ways to use brussel sprouts!!
