It’s official. I am obsessed with persimmons.  Whether in a sweet or savory dish, these lovely orange-hued fruits resemble tomatoes, but have a firmer texture and a natural, unforgettable sweetness.  Persimmons come in two varieties, either Fuyu or Hachiya.  This simple Fall side dish comes together easily and beautifully—wedges of sweet persimmon tossed with baby kale greens, wild rice and dried cranberries.  Filled with healthy ingredients and tons of flavor, this side dish would be great on your upcoming Holiday menus, or just as a weeknight side dish. Enjoy!
