Are you looking for a quick salad that is fresh, delicious and full of flavour? Then this frisée salad with persimmon and goat cheese is just right for you. This salad not only tastes great, it also looks pretty. Frisée lettuce can be stacked attractively on a plate thanks to its curly, frizzy texture. The tangy, earthy flavour of goat cheese provides a delightful contrast to the sweet and crunchy texture of ripe persimmons while the apple cider vinegar dressing emphasises the fruity sweetness. I prefer the goat cheese as it is, but you can try brushing the goat cheese rounds with 1-2 teaspoons of honey and roast at 200C/400F for 8-10 minutes.

- Cut goat cheese log into 8 even rounds. Dry toast the pine nuts in a small non-stick pan until golden brown. Set aside.
- Wash and dry the persimmons, peel, then slice and cut the slices in half as desired. Wash and clean the frisée lettuce, spin dry thoroughly and tear into bite-sized pieces. Peel and dice the red onion.
- Mix the apple cider vinegar with honey, salt and crushed mixed pepper, then thoroughly whisk in the olive oil.
- Toss the frisée lettuce, persimmons and red onion with some of the dressing. Arrange the salad on a platter or divide between plates. Top with goat cheese rounds and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over. Enjoy with the crusty bread.
That's a very yummy looking salad!

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a good cold meal
ReplyDeleteThis is a hard pass for me as I don't like goats cheese or persimmons. I think it's the only fruit I don't eat.

ReplyDeleteHello Angie,
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Take care, have a happy weekend.
A delicious and refreshing salad for spring! I love persimmon so looking forward to making this.
ReplyDeleteThat does look very nice, Angie. I can't come at eating goat's cheese :)
ReplyDeleteI am still being tested for lactose intolerance, but I think that goat cheese is okay anyway, so I may be able to enjoy this excellent dish.
ReplyDeleteThis salad is so tasty Angie. A precious recipe.
ReplyDeletea beautiful and unique salad. My husband loves persimmon but it's not always easy to find here.
ReplyDelete...Angie, thanks for this fresh treat!
ReplyDeleteLovely colours on the plate. Cannot stand either goats nor sheep's cheese.
ReplyDeleteBellissima e invitante!
ReplyDeleteLove persimmons. This looks great :-D
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, Angie! Such a fresh combo - sweet persimmons and tangy goat cheese are so good together.
ReplyDeleteGreat combination,. No persimmons here yet... but I'm waiting!
ReplyDeleteGracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love how you introduce me to so many new ingredients. I've heard of persimmons, but I don't think I've ever seen (in the market) or tasted one. This salad looks very good though. I've got to keep my eyes open because I want to try one.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't even been home for a week and I am already missing the exceptional cheeses from Europe. Yes, we have some of them here, but they are extremely expensive, it just seems more reasonable in Europe. The salad looks and sounds wonderful, fingers crossed we will be having warmer days as April progresses.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so tasty, thank mew for sharing! 🐾🐾
