Persimmon and Feta Salad

A small salad can be just the treat if you’re a bit peckish and fancy a small treat. Or it can be a delicious lunch or dinner if made a bit bigger. I never use exact measurements when making a salad, I don’t think they need it, and measuring everything just makes more work. It also means that every salad is slightly different even if using the same ingredients. This salad is quite fruity, but the saltiness of the cheese balances the flavours.

Serves 1 as a snack


a handful of lettuce leaves
5 thin slices of persimmon fruit
a handful of mango slices
7 cherry tomatoes
some feta cheese
a drizzle of olive oil
a drizzle of passion fruit vinegar
freshly ground black pepper

Tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces, and place in a small bowl or on a plate. Thinly slice the persimmon fruit and place over the lettuce. Chop the mango into small pieces, half the tomatoes, and place both with the lettuce. Crumble the feta cheese over the salad, and drizzle a bit each of the oil and vinegar over it. Finally grind some black pepper over the salad.
