Ingredients

1 large head kale stems removed
3 ripe Fuyu persimmons tops removed and diced
Seeds from 1/2 a pomegranate
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 large lemon
1/4-1/2 cup good quality olive oil We use Delallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1-2 teaspoons honey
salt and pepper

Instructions

Thinly slice kale into ribbons and place in a large bowl. Squeeze half of the lemon into kale over it and a liberal sprinkle of salt (about 1/4 of a teaspoon or so but I don't measure it).
Massage kale for 2-3 minutes if you have several hours before dinner or 5 minutes if serving immediately.
Whisk remaining lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and salt and pepper to taste into a simple vinaigrette and pour over salad.
Top with persimmons, pomegranate seeds, almonds, and toss.
Keeps well for up to 2 days in the fridge.
