Ingredients

• 4 whole oranges
• 8 whole Medjool dates
• 12 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons orange blossom water
• 1 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons slivered almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith. Slice the oranges crosswise into thin rounds and arrange them on a serving platter, slightly overlapping.

Step 2

Pit the Medjool dates and slice them lengthwise into thin strips. Scatter the dates over the orange slices.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them evenly over the oranges and dates.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, orange blossom water, and honey. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the salad.

Step 5

If desired, toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly, then scatter them over the salad for added crunch.

Step 6

Let the salad rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
