Pomegranate Persimmon Salad With Maple Vinaigrette
Pomegranates and persimmons are two slightly out-of-the-ordinary fruits for the Western palate but are still easy to find. They’re right in that sweet spot between unusual and common that makes them exciting without being threatening. While they can be a bit trickier than your average apples and oranges (persimmons need to be super, super ripe and pomegranate seeds are just so tricky to get at!) the little bit of extra effort is completely worth it. They are really two of the most interesting and delicious fruits.
You can enjoy both these wonderful fruits in this pomegranate persimmon salad!
Pomegranate Zucchini Pasta
There’s so many things you can do with zucchini. We’ve already had plenty to say about the wondrous versatility of this modest little squash. So let’s focus instead on this amazing persimmon dressing!
If you’ve never tasted a well-ripened persimmon, then you simply don’t know what you’re missing. If tasted before they have had a chance to get really, really ripe — we’re talking almost fermented, even — persimmon is aggressively astringent and unpleasant. But as the fruit matures and the tannin levels are reduced, it becomes one of the sweetest and most incredible tasting fruits you’ll find anywhere. But it does take patience! You have to let the persimmon ripen until it becomes so soft it is squishy. Which makes it ideal for dressings!
As always, ginger provides a lovely spicy foil for the sweetness of the persimmon dressing. Give it a try!
Pomegranate Punch Smoothie
Since ancient times, pomegranates have been used in Middle Eastern and Eastern European cuisine. These strange and wonderful fruit are now a global sensation, and this pomegranate punch smoothie is an awesome way to enjoy this ancient fruit.
The extra bit of effort it takes to get those delicious little seed pods out (and there are hundreds of them in there!) is worth it, and just makes this odd fruit even more rewarding.
