Persimmon & Beet Salad with Almonds
Prep time:10 min
Total time:45 min
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 pkg (400 g each) Longo’s Cubed Red Beets
5 tbsp Longo’s 100% Pure Canola Oil, divided
3/4 tsp each salt and pepper, divided
4 Fuyu persimmons
3 tbsp Longo’s Signature White Vinegar of Modena
2 tsp Longo’s Dijon Mustard Microgreens (optional)
1/4 cup Longo’s Slivered Almonds, toasted
Directions
- •Toss beets with 2 tbsp of the oil and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Roast in preheated 400°F oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until browned and tender.
- •Quarter persimmons (like an apple); slice quarters lengthwise.
- •Whisk together vinegar, Dijon and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Toss persimmons with half the dressing. Gently toss beets with remaining dressing.
- •Arrange beets on platter; surround with persimmons. Garnish with microgreens (if using) and sprinkle with almonds.
A dash of advice
Sprinkle salad with crumbled feta for a tangy contrast in flavour.
Extend this salad using baby greens such as spinach or kale. Double the dressing and toss the extra with 1 tub (142 g) greens to create a base before layering the beets and persimmons.
