MOROCCAN ORANGE SALAD



Moroccan Orange Salad image

Juicy oranges, crunchy almonds, smooth and luscious dates...and with a cinnamon/orange "dressing" over all, this fruit salad is beyond delicious.

Provided by A Messy Cook

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oranges, peeled
4 pitted chopped dates
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 cup orange juice

Steps:

  • Slice oranges into bite-size chunks; place into bowl with chopped dates.
  • Add lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar (if using) and toss to coat fruit.
  • Stir in almonds and pour orange juice over all.
  • Cover and refrigerate, and serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of oranges. This salad is a great way to use up different types of oranges, such as navel oranges, blood oranges, and Cara Cara oranges. Each type of orange will add a slightly different flavor to the salad.
  • Choose ripe, juicy oranges. The oranges should be heavy for their size and have a bright, vibrant color. Avoid oranges that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Segment the oranges carefully. Use a sharp knife to cut around the orange segments, being careful not to cut into the bitter white pith. You can also use a grapefruit spoon to remove the segments.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast the walnuts in a skillet over medium heat, in a toaster oven, or on a baking sheet in the oven.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it's made. The oranges will start to lose their flavor and texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Moroccan Orange Walnut Salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet oranges, crunchy walnuts, and tangy dressing is sure to please everyone at your table. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamin C and fiber. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give Moroccan Orange Walnut Salad a try!
