MIXED GREENS WITH HAZELNUTS AND PERSIMMONS

Mixed Greens with Hazelnuts and Persimmons image

I love persimmons and they taste great in salads. There are different types of persimmon. The Fuyu kind does not need to be ripe and can be eaten while still firm, other varieties only taste good when they are soft, so just make sure which type you have. Either works well.
