Another recipe I stumbled across & fell in love with on a search for something else. My recipe source is "The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest" by Mollie Katzen. Recipes w/10 min prep times always get my attention (esp ones w/flavor combos like this one!) & the serving method sounded like so much fun to do w/your family or at a dinner party w/friends. :-)

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

  • Stir in almonds and pour orange juice over all.
  • Cover and refrigerate, and serve chilled.

Tips:

  • Make sure to choose the best quality ingredients for the best flavor. For example, use fresh oranges and walnuts, and good-quality olive oil.
  • If you don't have time to make the orange dressing, you can use a store-bought vinaigrette. Just be sure to choose one that is not too sweet.
