Spinach Salad With Persimmons, Goat Cheese and Walnuts image

I was never crazy about persimmons until I made this salad with the crunchy Fuyu variety. I love the contrast of sweet persimmons with earthy spinach.

This salad is so versatile! You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a handful of dried cranberries for a bit of sweetness. I also like to use a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the lemon vinaigrette. It adds a nice depth of

I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead. They worked great! The pecans added a nice nutty flavor to the salad.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious! The feta cheese added a salty tanginess that I really enjoyed.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I always have a bunch of spinach in my fridge that I need to use up, and this salad is a perfect way to do it. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.
