Orange-Date Salad

 

3 pounds oranges (about 6)

1/2 cup sugar

1

teaspoon cinnamon

10 Medjool dates

1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts

1

teaspoon orange flower water

mint leaves for garnish

 

Cut the ends off each orange over a dish to catch

the juice. Cut away the peel and slice each orange into three-eighths-inch

crosswise slices, then cut each slice in half. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in

a small bowl. Place the oranges in a large bowl and sprinkle with the sugar and

cinnamon, stirring to coat.

Freeze the dates briefly to aid in slicing and

cut then into strips, add them to the oranges. Add the walnuts and orange flower

water and gently stir to combine.

Place in a serving dish and garnish with a

few mint leaves. Chill well before serving.
