This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pomegranate molasses in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of persimmons, but I loved this salad. The pomegranate and arugula really balanced out the flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the hazelnuts. The salad was still delicious without them.

I didn't have any hazelnuts, so I used walnuts instead. They were still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but it worked really well in this salad. The bitterness balanced out the sweetness of the persimmons and pomegranate.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover persimmons. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish.
