Ingredients

• 4 whole oranges
• 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons almonds (optional, toasted and sliced)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, as it can taste bitter. Slice the oranges into thin rounds or segments and arrange them on a serving platter.

Step 2

Drizzle the orange blossom water evenly over the orange slices to infuse them with a delicate floral flavor.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon lightly over the oranges for a warm and aromatic spice note.

Step 4

Drizzle honey over the spiced orange slices, adding a touch of sweetness.

Step 5

Finely chop half of the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the oranges. Leave the remaining mint leaves whole for garnish.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle the toasted and sliced almonds on top of the salad for added crunch and nuttiness.

Step 7

Allow the salad to sit for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Moroccan Orange Salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or dessert.
