Persimmon Pomegranate Salsa

Labels: { Fruit, Salads }

This slightly spicy winter salsa recipe from My Recipe, which I modified a little, uses the winter favorites of persimmons and pomegranate in place of tomatoes. Serve over smoked fish, chicken or steak, or as an appetizer atop cheese or crackers with a dab of sour cream. It can be made up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.


1 Large ripe persimmon, peeled and coarsely chopped Pomegranate seeds from 1 medium pomegranate 1 Onion, diced 1/2 Cucumber, deseeded and diced Fresh parsley, chopped 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice 1 tsp Grated peeled fresh ginger 1 tsp Chilli flakes 1/4 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Combine diced persimmon, pomegranate seeds, onion, cucumber and chopped parsley in a medium bowl.
Combine lemon juice, ginger, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir together and drizzle over persimmon mixture. Toss to coat.

jasna varcakovic 5/1/15 06:06: Nice and colourful; big debate here (between some Australian nationalities) is should persimmon be eaten while hard or wait until it becomes soft. Love it anyway!

Unknown 8/1/15 15:04: So beautifully colourful! I've been trying to find decent persimmons here and all I can come across are mushy, over ripe ones or totally unripe. So, needless to say, I haven't had any this season. Love this salsa, great seasonal idea.
Claudia 8/1/15 15:24: This truly is a winter salsa. It is so pretty - I welcome pretty food in the dead of winter. It's below 0 degrees F, snowing and would love some of this "pretty" to come to my table. Happy New Year, Angie! May it bring all good things!
Jean | DelightfulRepast.com 8/1/15 17:23: Angie, you've done it again -- put together ingredients I would not have thought to combine but now that I see it I'm wondering why I haven't!

Asmita 11/1/15 21:16: Wow Angie!
Love the colors! Bright and gorgeous flavors. Looks amazing!!!
Couscous & Consciousness 12/1/15 02:17: Awesome idea, Angie. I often make a salsa like this to go with things like fish tacos using mango or pineapple, but in winter I'm always at a bit of a loss when those things aren't around. Using persimmon is a great idea - pinning this so I remember it when the season comes.
Gingi 14/1/15 17:40: Wish I'd seen this back when I was getting tons of persimmons in my weekly local veggie co-op basket!! I ended up throwing some away because I couldn't think of anything beyond, "Make persimmon bread" lol... - www.domesticgeekgirl.com
Noob Cook 15/1/15 02:38: Love the tropical flavours and colours!
Barbara 18/1/15 13:49: Beautiful, Angie. This would be fabulous with fish!
Chaya 19/1/15 00:26: This is a great meshing of flavors and it is pretty as well.
Terra 19/1/15 15:47: What a fun mix of flavors! This recipe would be fun added to some roasted pork shoulder tacos, love sweet and savory with pork. Sounds delicious, Hugs, Terra
