This Persimmon Blue Cheese Walnut salad is a great mix of crunchy juicy elements and creamy blue cheese. It’s really easy, and when Persimmons are in season it is an unusual salad cheese lovers will rave about.

Persimmon Salad with blue cheese

Have you ever wondered what to do with those beautiful orange coloured fruits that appear in fruit shops between about February and May. At a time when the summer fruit starts to thin out these gorgeous orange orbs appear.  Don’t get me wrong I love pears apples and citrus fruits but I love these Persimmons more.

They can be used in lots of ways mixed through salads, with cheese or with spicy foods in a salsa. They are just totally awesome because they don’t discolour when sliced in fact they are the fruit worlds best kept secret.

Now be careful because there are two kinds of textures of persimmons. There is the one that is soft and pudding like and perhaps the one that has given you the shudders- me too. Story here.

Then there are the ones I am now talking about. Firm and crisp and kind of sweet. They really go with so many things…but I also love them chopped up with my yoghurt and muesli in the morning

This is a great Salad to make as part of a BBQ or with other cheeses. It's a nice way of serving blue cheese. Its pretty freestyle. Persimmons will also work with semi hard and gruyere cheeses
