Persimmon Pomegranate Salad

Following this autumn-worthy Winter Squash and Apples Chicken Salad Bowl , let us continue autumn footsteps with a light and refreshing salad with antioxidants-packed persimmons and pomegranate.

Round-shaped Fuyu persimmons are preferred for this salad as they are sweeter and able to maintain a little firmness and crispness when ripe; compared to the elongated Hachiya persimmon which needs to be absolutely ripe to be sweet (soft when gently pressed on the exterior, sometimes to the extent of being mushy when ripened).
