Ingredients

For the Salad:

• 2 persimmons, peeled and sliced into wedges
• 2 handfuls of endive
• 3 handfuls mixed baby greens
• 3/4 cup sliced steamed or sautéed brussels sprouts
• 1/2 cup pomegranate arils

For the Tahini Dressing:

• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• Pinch of freshly ground pepper, or more to taste
• Water, to thin

Preparation

For the Salad:

1. Wash and thoroughly dry your greens.
2. Allow your Brussels sprouts to come to room temperature after steaming and slice into thin slivers.
3. Remove arils from your pomegranate and set aside.

For the Dressing:

2. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
