Writer Notes
This recipe was once first inspired by The Tante Marie Cooking College Cookbook. The addition of candied walnuts and blue cheese are two ingredients I take care of in a range of salads I’ve had at restaurants. I made up my thoughts to poach the persimmon in a ginger straight forward syrup when I seen it was once too astringent for my taste. The pomegranate salad dressing was once inspired by all those little tasty jewels I so meticulously picked out with out getting my white t-shirt stained 🙂 —nieceboo
