GRILLED FUJI FRUIT, SPINACH AND ROCKET SALAD

November 11, 2012 By Manu 12 Comments

Fuji Fruit, Spinach and Rocket Salad

I have noticed that l don’t have enough recipes for side dishes on the blog, so I thought of remedying that and today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious salad.  This is perfect for autumn, when fuji fruits are in season.  In fact I have had this recipe in my archives for a while and somehow it hadn’t made it to the blog yet!  It is very simple and quick to make and it is also very healthy.  It is made with veggies, fruits and even nuts so it is packed with good nutrients and you will find yourself wanting more and more… that’s how yummy it is.  I am always on the look out for “different” salads as I tend to get bored of eating the same old mixed salad all the time and this definitely did the trick for me.  In case you were wondering, fuji fruits are like persimmons, but hard, which makes them perfect for grilling.  I can’t wait for fuji fruits to be back in season to make this salad again, but if you are lucky enough to find some around where you live, make it now and let me know how you like it!  Enjoy!

    I had to look up fugi fruit because it looked like a persimmon to me. 🙂 This is a lovely salad and I’d be happy to eat it right now.

      LOL! I know! I had to dig ad still found different opinions on whether fuji is fuyu persimmon or not, so I kept the name… Don’t they sell them as “Fuji fruits” up there?? They are only sold with that name around here! We usually have the soft kaki in Italy and that’s what I am familiar with… ;-P

    Hi, Manu!

    What a beautiful, tasty salad! I think I’d substitute grilled peaches which are easier to find around here, but the taste would still be amazing!!!

    A fifth of liquor is a fifth of a gallon which is approximately 750 ml. I hope you get a chance to make some Kahlua 🙂 xo

    Manu, This grilled fruit salad looks so fresh and inviting. A couple of the ingredients are intriguing as they are new to me. I too, can find boredom in typical everyday salads, but this is not the cased here. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

    Hi Manu,
    This salad looks tasty! I was thinking of also adding a little goat cheese. I am glad you posted it-I am supposed to bring salad for our Thanksgiving dinner and I was trying to think of something different instead of the same old green salad.

    Not to be a busybody, but I think that people might be confused by your name Fuji fruit. Maureen ^ is right that they are persimmons. The variety you used in the salad is actually called Fuyu. Another variety is called Hachiya which is the more pointed shaped one which when really ripe you can use it to bake with (makes a nice bread!).
    thanks for another great recipe!

      Hi Cara!
      I am so glad you liked the salad! It is indeed a very different recipe and perfect for autumn! 🙂 I know, this thing of Fuji and Persimmon has been haunting me since I first saw these at the stores! The truth is they are always sold as “Fuji fruit”, so I kept the same name… however, I think they may be known as fuyu persimmons everywhere else! 😉

        Hi Manu,
        Funny, I am of Japanese descent and grew up calling persimmons Kaki too.
        We have apples here called Fuji apples.

    Nice salad. I also had to check if fuji fruit is what we call kaki, but apparently they are only relatives.:-) I guess if I want to replace the fuji fruit from your salad with soft kakis, I have to skip the grilling part.:-) Thanks for sharing such a beautiful salad recipe. keep on posting more side dishes Manu. I love them.

      LOL I know kaki very well… I love them and used to eat them often in Italy, but I have never found them here… they sell only these hard ones… 😉
