Ottolenghi's Orange and Date Salad
Description
This salad combines peppery greens with the sweet chewiness of dates and the crisp freshness of paper-thin radish and red onion slices. The mix of fresh herbs adds complexity and brightness, while orange slices on top provide juicy bursts of citrus.
The dressing is a mixture of lemon juice, orange blossom water, minced garlic, cinnamon, toasted fennel seeds, olive oil, and seasoning. It offers floral, citrusy, and warm spice notes that complement the natural sweetness of the dates and the peppery bite from the greens and radishes.
The salad is assembled by tossing most ingredients with half the dressing, then topping with orange slices and finishing with the remaining dressing. This technique keeps the orange slices distinct and visually appealing.
