Dressing – Makes about 1 cup, enough for 8 servings
2 tsp. minced Shallot
¼ cup Champagne Vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
Emulsify these ingredients using a food processor or blender
Add 1/4 cup canola and 1/4 cup olive oil, and blend
Add a little salt
Add ¼ cup crème fraiche and blend. Dressing will be creamy and dreamy
Salad:
4 cups Radicchio
4 cups Wild Arugula
4 cups Frisee
Topping:
1 cup Fresh walnuts (not roasted)
4 firm-ripe Tsurunoko “chocolate” Persimmons
Process:
Toss the salad greens in the dressing, and mound on plates. Cut ½” off the calyx end of Tsurunoko persimmons, and pull out the seeds. A pair of tweezers or needle nose pliers works well for this. Slice the Tsurunokos into wedges, and top the salad with persimmon slices and walnuts.
