Persimmons come in two main varieties—fuyu, which are firm and sweet, shaped like a squat pumpkin and can be eaten like an apple, and hachiya, which are acorn shaped and extremely astringent until they are soupy ripe. This persimmon fruit salad is made with the apple-like fuyu variety. To the persimmons I added pomegranate seeds, diced Granny Smith apple, a little lemon juice, mint, and some honey. Oh, my gosh, this is one of the best fruit salads I’ve ever had, and one of the best things I’ve ever made! So simple too. The mint, lemon, and honey are the only dressing the fruit need.
