Persimmon Pomegranate Arugula Salad with Cinnamon Maple Dressing (vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar free)

This persimmon pomegranate arugula salad is simple and so delicious. I love persimmons and it adds the perfect sweetness and flavor to this salad. The cinnamon maple dressing is cozy, warm, sweet, and acidic.

Persimmons are so underrated and I love eating them in salads, desserts, or just plain. The persimmons have a honey, apple-like flavor and goes well with the arugula. The pops of juicy pomegranate with the nuts and seeds gives this salad a variety of texture, which makes for the perfect bite.
