I just think it's slightly odd to totally believe or trust this website in particular, perhaps mainly because that website appeals to you more?

Persimmon, Pomegranate and Pecan Salad

Ingredients:
• 1 large pomegranate
• 4 ribs celery
• 2 small persimmons (or 1 large)
• 1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted
• 8 ounces mixed baby salad greens, washed and spun dry
• 1 large lemon, zest grated
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Directions:
To remove the pomegranate seeds, make a cut near the blossom end of the fruit, submerge the pomegranate in a bowl of water and pull the fruit apart with your fingers. The seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl. Discard the fruit; drain the seeds and set aside; there should be about 1/2 cup.
Use a mandoline or a V-slicer to cut the peeled celery on the diagonal into paper-thin slices, then transfer to a large salad bowl along with any of the celery leaves. Core the persimmons, cut them vertically into quarters and then crosswise into 1/4-inch slices; add them to the bowl, along with the toasted pecans, salad greens, reserved pomegranate seeds and strands of lemon zest. Drizzle in the oil, squeeze in some lemon juice to taste and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine and sprinkle with cheese to taste, if desired. Serve immediately.

MMMmmmmmm.....

ok, one last nit to pick before i let this die.

Ultimately it all comes down to the amount of trust you (or I) put in your (or my) sources, which was your point if I understand correctly.
