Nature is so bountiful. It gives us the best produce every season. I love pairing seasonal fruits and veggies in my diet. This recipe uses one of my favorite fall/winter fruit Persimmon, which is primarily found in the cooler regions in Himachal like Shimla and Kullu.
I have made a gorgeous Persimmon Pomegranate salad out of it. I bought these gorgeous Persimmons from home, they were so sweet and tasty and I wanted to do justice to them. So, I picked up Persimmons and Pomegranates and made a crunchy, sweet, and salty salad from it.
