Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 3-4 pitted medjool dates, finely chopped (4 dates yield ~1/2 cup or 85g measured after pitting)
- 1 ½ cups thinly sliced celery stalks (4 large stalks yield ~1 ½ cups or 180 g)
- 3 Tbsp chopped celery leaves
- 1 cup fresh mandarin orange slices*, peeled and pith removed, cut into 1-inch pieces (2 small mandarins yield ~1 cup chopped)
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- To a large mixing bowl, add olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and parsley, and whisk to combine.
- Add the chopped dates, breaking them apart with your fingers. You can also use a whisk or fork as needed to break them up completely.
- Add the celery, celery leaves, mandarin oranges, and pistachios (optional) and mix with two spoons until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more dates for sweetness, lemon juice for brightness, or salt to taste.
- This salad pairs beautifully with couscous and coconut yogurt, or alongside our Easy Vegan Moussaka or Kale Falafel Hummus Wraps (30 Minutes!).
- Best when fresh. Leftovers will keep stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Not freezer friendly.

Notes
- *Tangerines, satsumas, or clementines will all work. *Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with 3 dates and without optional ingredients.
