    Made it with the ingredients I had in my kitchen. Iceberg lettuce, mango and golden delicious apples. We really loved it!

    Nice, fresh salad. I'd like to make again during persimmon season. The pears were good, but I bet these would be better. Sherry vinegar is sometimes too sharp for me. It was perfect in this case.

    Keeper just for the walnuts even if you can't get half the other ingredients

    Wonderful winter salad for a special dinner. Worth hunting down the persimmons and castelfranco radicchio for the colour and textures. Looks great on a large platter. Sherry vinegar was a nice counterpoint to the honeyed walnuts.
