Spinach and Persimmon Salad with Goat Cheese and Pomegranate

Spinach and Persimmon Salad with Goat Cheese and Pomegranate

I love how the sweet persimmon balances out the tartness that you get from the pomegranate arils and creamy goat cheese. Top that with the crunch of sliced almonds, and you have the perfect fall salad.
