Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 6 small or 4 large Fuyu persimmons about 1 1/2 lbs., cut into wedges
  • 5 Medjool dates pitted and cut into slivers
  • 1/2 cup salted cashews very roughly chopped
  • 1 Tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Toss persimmons with dates and cashews in a medium bowl. In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together ginger, honey, and salt. Microwave until honey is thin enough to drizzle, about 20 seconds. Whisk again, then drizzle on salad and toss to coat. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze on top.
