Beijing salad with persimmon
4 servings
30 minutes
Beijing salad with persimmon is an elegant blend of freshness and sweet notes in traditional Chinese cuisine. The salad leaves create a light base, while ripe persimmon adds soft sweetness, harmonizing with the spiciness of red onion and the juiciness of cherry tomatoes. Tender chicken fillet enriches the dish, and the dressing made of olive oil, wine vinegar, soy sauce, and mustard fills the flavor with depth and expressiveness. Sesame seeds complete the composition with a light nutty hint. This salad is perfect as a light main dish or an exquisite appetizer that complements a festive table or refreshes a weekday dinner.
