FUYU PERSIMMON SALAD

Fuyu Persimmon Salad image

The Fuyu persimmon, round and squat and rather tomato-shaped, is the kind you can eat raw. You want to buy the ones that have turned truly orange (if they are greenish-gold, let them ripen for a few days), then peel them and slice them. The flesh is firm but sweet. Eat them plain, in the Japanese fashion, with a pot of tea. Fuyus persimmons make wonderful salads, too.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 shallot, finely diced
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 Fuyu persimmons
1/2 cup thinly sliced tender celery stalks and leaves
1 head radicchio, leaves torn into 2-inch wide ribbons
Chunk of Parmesan, for shaving

Steps:

Make the vinaigrette: put diced shallot in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Add lemon juice and sherry vinegar and leave to macerate for about 5 minutes. Stir in olive oil. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
With a sharp paring knife, remove and discard the leafy calyx at the top of each persimmon. Peel persimmons and cut in half vertically. Lay persimmons flat side down and cut into 1/2-inch wedges.
Put persimmon wedges and celery slices in a low, wide salad bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk vinaigrette, then pour over persimmon and celery and toss to coat well. Add radicchio and toss lightly.
With a vegetable peeler, shave about 1 ounce of Parmesan in thin strips over salad.
