Ditch the traditional tomatoes and mozzarella mix with this original recipe. You’ll be surprised by its combination of flavours!

What Makes This Persimmon Salad So Good?

• The creaminess of the Mozzarella di Bufala. 
• The purple bright colour, sharp and bitter taste of the radicchio.
• The persimmon (link) adds sweetness to the dish.
• The arugula’s peppery flavour.
• The pumpkin seeds add a crunch in every bite.
• The balsamic & olive oil vinaigrette adds the perfect balance.

What Is Persimmon?

Meet the new fruit in town!

Originally from China, persimmon trees have grown there for at least 1000 years. This orange vibrant fruit is now more and more available in North America.

• It’s loaded with nutrients, antioxidants and fibre.
• It looks like a vibrant orange tomato.
• Its taste is a mix between mangoes and tomatoes, in my opinion.
• Make sure it’s ripe, it’s supposed to be tender and melt in your mouth!

How to Eat It?

• In a salad, like the one in this recipe.
• On some crostini with goat cheese.
• In a cake or muffins.
• Topped on your favourite pancakes or waffles.

Mozzarella DI Bufala Compared to…

• Regular mozzarella: It’s creamier and has a bolder taste than regular mozzarella.
• Burrata: It’s a semi-soft cheese compared to Burrata, which is even creamier. We prefer mozzarella di Bufala in a salad, it’s creamy but not too much!

Balsamic and Olive Oil Vinaigrette.

It’s a quite complex salad with a lot of flavours. That’s why we paired it with a classic vinaigrette.
