Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with persimmons, cheese and arugula? Very simple and fast. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Separate half a pomegranate into grains in advance. This is a basic recipe that you can supplement or change to your taste. You can add any nuts to taste, berries, such as blueberries or raspberries. You can sprinkle the finished salad with sesame seeds before serving.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the mozzarella from the brine and dry. If the mozzarella is one large ball, cut it into thin slices. Instead of mozzarella, you can use any other cheese to your taste: hard cheeses such as Russian or Gouda, soft cheeses such as curd, processed or feta. Arugula and mozzarella are a classic win-win combination, so when choosing cheese I settled on this cheese.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the persimmon, dry it and cut it into slices, removing the seeds. If you wish, you can peel the fruit, especially if the skin is hard. Choose the type of persimmon according to your taste, but it is advisable that the fruit is not viscous - this will ruin the salad. In addition, the persimmon should be tasty, juicy if possible, but not very soft. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during the cutting process they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash and dry the arugula. Instead of arugula, you can take other greens to taste. A ready-made mixture of lettuce leaves works well.

5. STEP 5

   

   Now prepare all the ingredients for the dressing. I used extra virgin olive oil, but you can use any vegetable oil you like. You can use both Provençal and Italian dry herbs.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, liquid honey, Provençal herbs, salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place arugula and persimmon slices on a plate. Arrange the mozzarella balls. Sprinkle the salad with pomegranate seeds. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Bon appetit!
