Lamb’s lettuce (or arugula or baby spinach) combines perfectly with sweet juicy pears and crunchy walnuts in this simple classic winter salad. If you prefer, apples can be used instead of pears. This simple salad is complimentary to a variety of meat dishes or pan seared tempeh if you want to keep it vegan.

I bet I'd love this. I do enjoy persimmon.
I have neved tried this fruit before,but I should,looks so pretty☺
Oh yes, my dear friend. YOU are stunning... your recipes, your photos, your ideas.. I'm so proud of you. This salad is really amazing.. and would like to eat it with you. <3 Happy new year, little star. I wish you all the best, a lot of happiness and dreams come true. I love you, thanks for being in my life. <3
Fresh and bright, this salad makes a stunning starter. Happy New Year!
Lovely salad. Would you believe I only recently cooked with persimmons?
You always think up the most amazing combos! This sounds awesome!
Aww, the colours of this salad. It looks amazing.
Can't beat a good fruity salad! Love the fruit stars and flowers, they're so adorable!
Tadaa. What a vibrant and beautifully presented salad. Of course kicking my hunger in.
We can't get maché lettuce here this time of year, so I would likely use Boston Bibb which is buttery and soft, very similar to maché. A fruit salad would be so refreshing this time of year, and I just love anything with nuts, so tasty. Happy New Year to you!
Looks really refreshing and crunchy :)
Such a pretty salad! So healthy and yum!A very happy new year to you!
A colorful and delicious salad. Perfect to chase away the blahs of winter.
SO beautiful!!!
Nice salad, Angie! Very pretty and I like your plates also. Another great use of persimmons, thanks!
You always use very interesting ingredients... my persimmons always end up eaten just like that, have always wanted to make salad with it...
I am always up for a good salad recipe and this one rocks, Angie. Can't wait to combine all of these awesome ingredients!
A delicious salad for this time of year. We don't eat many Persimmons, not sure why but I know they'll be delicious in here. GG
what an interesting salad and love your presentation with the fruit sliced in rounds and how the pear makes a natural star. My husband is very fond of persimmons so a salad like this would be a special treat. Thanks for the recipe
Ooooh so pretty Angie!!! I LOVE the persimmons in this salad, for sure!!
A delicious winter salad.
This is the perfect way to start the new year, fresh and delicious your salad!
Wow, this looks SO GOOD! Wonderful flavor, too, I'll bet -- such a nice assortment of ingredients. Thanks!
I love the combo of fruits and greens!
Loving this recipe, thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Hi Angie! I love salads with fruit. These salads are so fresh and yours looks delicious. Kisses
What a beautiful salad! I love persimmon. Normally, I'm just so excited to get one - since they're only around for part of the year - that I just eat it as is. But what a great idea to make it the centerpiece of a salad!
I bet persimmons and pears are wonderful together, never would of thought of that combination myself, beautiful salad Angie, Happy New Year!
Mmmm I sure do love persimmons - and Angie, this is such a crisp and delicious use of them. Love the pairing with pears and walnuts in this light and lovely salad!
From the pears to the maple syrup, this is a salad that would make my husband smile! Happy New Year!
This is so pretty and I love the ingredients as well as the dressing!
I am so pleased it's Persimmon season again, this salad look so fresh and tasty.
I love how beautiful persimmons look in this winter salad!
I love fruits, vegetables and nuts in a salad bowl. Just added citrus blood orange to my veggie bowl today but forgotten the nuts :P
You always inspire me to eat more salads! This is gorgeous Angie!!
I love, love fruity salads!
