Vinaigrette:
2 tablespoons red wine or sherry vinegar
1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Salad:
2 ripe Fuyu persimmons, peeled, halved lengthwise,
and sliced crosswise
2 Asian pears, halved, cored, and sliced crosswise
2 ripe avocados
4 ounces Earthbound Farm Organic Mixed Baby Greens, Mâche,
or tender watercress
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
Make the vinaigrette by combining the vinegar, mustard, oil, salt, and pepper in a small jar. Close tightly with a lid and shake vigorously to emulsify. Set aside at room temperature until serving time.
Combine persimmon and pear slices in a medium-sized bowl. Halve, pit, and peel the avocados, and then slice crosswise. Add avocado to the bowl with the fruit. Toss gently with half of the dressing.
Divide the fruit and avocado among 4 chilled plates, artfully arranging the colorful slices. Place the lettuce in the bowl and toss with the remaining dressing. Mound the lettuce atop the fruit and avocado slices, sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds, and serve immediately.
