Ingredients
Scale
Salad
- 10 ounces spring mix salad greens
- 2 persimmons, peeled and chopped into ½ inch pieces
- 2/3 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
- ½ cup honey mustard salad dressing
Instructions
- Arrange salad greens: In a large serving dish, place a small round bowl in the center. Arrange the spring mix salad greens evenly around the bowl, creating a circular base that will frame the centerpiece.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the chopped persimmons and walnuts evenly over the bed of greens. Then, scatter the pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta cheese on top to add bursts of color and flavor.
- Serve with dressing centerpiece: Pour the honey mustard salad dressing into the small bowl placed in the center of the salad. This creates the appearance of a festive wreath, making the salad visually appealing and convenient for guests to dip as they serve themselves.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or substitute with toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Persimmons can be replaced with sliced apples or pears for a different fall flavor.
- The salad is best served fresh to maintain crispness and vibrant colors.
- Make the dressing from scratch using honey, mustard, olive oil, and vinegar for a more personalized taste.
