All you need to do is wash and dry the arugula, cut up the persimmons and toss with this very basic lemon dressing. Any of the add-ins will make it a fuller-bodied dish, especially the cheese, which can make this a very nice main-course salad, particularly\u00a0if you are trying to lighten up a meal. And the orange and green are beautiful, especially mid-winter. We often make a double batch, refrigerate half and eat it again for lunch the next day &#8211; it holds up pretty well in a lunchbox, if you don&#8217;t overdo the dressing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-90 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC06842-1024x634.jpg\" alt=\"DSC06842\" width=\"1024\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC06842-1024x634.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC06842-300x186.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC06842-768x475.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Arugula with Persimmons<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">For the salad:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">1 bag of baby arugula leaves (about 8 cups), washed and spun or drained dry (If you don&#8217;t like arugula, use romaine or spinach, torn into bite-sized pieces)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">2 firm Fuyu persimmons, cut in a large dice or halved and thinly sliced<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">(If persimmons aren&#8217;t available, you can use orange or grapefruit segments, sliced mango or even halved grapes)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-37 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010493-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"P1010493\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010493-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010493-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010493-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Add-in your choice of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">A handful of grated or shaved Parmesan cheese<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">A handful of pomegranate kernels<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">1\/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">A handful of toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">1 or 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">A sprinkle of chia and\/or hemp seeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">A little grated lemon zest<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">For the dressing whisk together:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">Juice of \u00bd lemon and \u00bd orange (or all orange, for a sweeter salad)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">2-3 TBs olive or nut oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">Pinch of salt <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">Pinch of black pepper<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-38\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010494-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"P1010494\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010494-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010494-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/P1010494-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Toss well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-167 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/salad2.jpg\" alt=\"salad2\" width=\"864\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/salad2.jpg 864w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/salad2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.agooddish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/salad2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is a simple salad to make in the winter months when Fuyu persimmons (the small flat ones) are available.
