Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
Drizzle the orange blossom water evenly over the orange slices to infuse them with a delicate floral flavor.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon lightly over the oranges for a warm and aromatic spice note.
Drizzle honey over the spiced orange slices, adding a touch of sweetness.
Finely chop half of the mint leaves and sprinkle them over the oranges. Leave the remaining mint leaves whole for garnish.
If desired, sprinkle the toasted and sliced almonds on top of the salad for added crunch and nuttiness.
Allow the salad to sit for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Serve the Moroccan Orange Salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or dessert.
