- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios

Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith, and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the orange slices overlapping slightly on a large serving platter.
Pit the medjool dates and slice them lengthwise into thin strips. Scatter the date slices over the oranges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, orange blossom water, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the oranges and dates, ensuring all the fruit is lightly coated.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
