Pomegranate Avocado Salad with Candied Walnuts
The thing I love most about this salad is the use of my favorite seasonal fruits, pomegranates and persimmons, creamy avocado, sweet and spicy walnuts, and my favorite blue cheese. It's a simple salad, but it is also full of bold flavors and so many textures.
