Roasted persimmon salad with maple-mustard vinaigrette
Community member
"Instead of eating persimmons raw, you should definitely try roasting them—especially for this recipe. The sweet taste of persimmons paired with the strong flavor of rosemary might seem unusual, but they fit perfectly together. If desired, you can top this salad with a cheese like mozzarella, feta, or Pecorino."
