Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to make a sweet and savory persimmon fruit salad that’s loved by people of all ages. It’s simple yet visually appealing, making it a great addition to your table for special occasions.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the ingredients for our salad. Peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. For the persimmons, remove the seeds and cut them into bite-sized pieces. For the cucumber, remove the seeds and then julienne it thinly or dice it into small cubes for a better texture. Shred the imitation crab meat along the grain or slice it thinly. Place all these prepared ingredients into a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to make our delicious dressing. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of mayonnaise with a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Mix them well. Adding just a tiny bit of salt helps to enhance the sweetness of the fruits and balances the overall flavor. Drizzle this dressing evenly over the prepared fruits and vegetables.
Step 4
Finally, gently toss all the ingredients and dressing together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the fruits mushy; a gentle toss is key. For an extra crunch and nutty flavor, you can add a handful of coarsely chopped or whole peanuts. Once everything is mixed, your wonderful persimmon fruit salad is ready! Enjoy this delightful mayonnaise-based fruit salad, perfect for both special days and everyday moments.
