Winter Persimmon and Avocado Salad

I like to make this Winter Persimmon and Avocado Salad when I am feeling creative and I want to eat beautifully presented food. I think there is a level of artistry involved in making food look presentable and this salad is not only looks beautiful, it tastes delicious too!

I use Fuyu persimmons for this salad. They are the small tomato-shaped fruits which are sweet enough to eat even when they are not fully ripe. I start by preparing a simple oil, vinegar and mustard dressing which I toss with arugula leaves. I divide the dressed arugula between four bowls and I arrange the persimmon and avocado artistically on top. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and there you have it. A delicious & beautiful winter salad.
