In the Kitchen With: Erin Gleeson’s Persimmon Squash Salad

http://assets5.designsponge.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/persimmon_squash_salad_013.jpg This week, I think we might have a first on the column: Persimmons! And maybe also pomegranate. Photographer and blogger, Erin Gleeson of The Forest Feast, is the palate behind this intriguing combination of flavors and beautiful autumnal colors.  Her persimmon squash salad garnished with hazelnuts, pomegranate, radicchio, and parmesan is a mouthful to say, and one of the most original and unique dishes we have featured on the column.   I think this salad would be wonderful as part of your Thanksgiving celebration in all its elegance and contrasting colors and textures.  When you try it, leave us a note and let us know how you liked it!  -Kristina For more Thanksgiving food ideas, have a look in our Entertaining archives where you can search by course or holiday.  Some of my personal favorites include:  Stephanie Dietz' fresh cranberry bourbon sauce, William Brinson's stuffed acorn squash with apple chestnut stuffing, Beatrice Peltre's gratin dauphinois, Nikole Herriot's onion and thyme buns, Susan Schwake's apple onion cheese tart,  Adrienne Blumthal's blackberry balsamic pie, and Deadly Squire's apple pie.
