Orange and Date Salad (Moroccan)
"I love that this recipe is different (and hopefully more authentic) than the others posted here - as it uses ras el hanout as the spice. The freshness of this would be great with anything spicy. PREP TIME DOESN'T INCLUDE REFRIGERATION TIME."

What a wonderful combination of flavors! We enjoyed this as a light dessert. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
Light and refreshing! I served this over Greek yogurt, and let the dates sit in the juice as well since they looked dry - I really like how the dates soaked in the flavor and softened. For ZWT9
