Persimmon Salad With Glazed Walnuts and Feta
Here, firm Fuyu persimmons are used in a most satisfying seasonal salad that’s fairly easy to put together. First, you mix up a simple vinaigrette that gets a touch of sweetness from balsamic vinegar (a drop or two of honey wouldn’t be out of place). Then, it’s all tossed with chicories, like radicchio, curly endive or escarole, and homemade glazed walnuts and the result really feels like and looks like fall. Similar salads sometimes add blue cheese, but feta suits this one beautifully. And, if you can’t get persimmons, use pears.
Pepperoni Pasta Salad
This recipe gives the ’90s broccoli pasta salad an elegant upgrade with the addition of ripe cherry tomatoes, chopped radicchio, pepperoni and a tangy, Italian-style honey vinaigrette. Most of the ingredients in this recipe can be prepared in the time it takes to boil and cook the pasta. Searing the tomatoes softens them until saucy, while the raw broccoli offers contrasting crunch. Wilting the radicchio in the skillet tempers any bitter notes and the chopped Peppadew peppers offer sweet heat. Served room temperature or chilled, this crowd-pleasing dish makes a great potluck or barbecue side, but it’s also perfect for a summer meal al fresco. You can make it vegetarian by swapping the pepperoni for vegan pepperoni, or try it with crispy chickpeas spiced with smoked paprika.
