Turnip & Persimmon ‘Namasu’, a type of Japanese salad, is one of my favourites. When Persimmons start to appear at stores in autumn, I always make it. Today I added Pear to make this salad because I believed Pear would improve the flavour, and I was right. This salad probably looks boring, but it is absolutely delicious.
