Dice red onion and put in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes or longer.
Dice persimmons, mix together with Balsamic Vinegar, and drained onions, then set aside.
Dice avocado and crumble goat cheese, then gently mix into persimmon and onion mixture. If you over mix at this step the goat cheese and avocado could turn creamy depending on how ripe the avocado is.
Salt to taste.
Top with pecan and cranberries.
Serve on top of lettuce greens or as a stand alone side dish; goes great with salmon, ham, and chicken as well.
