Very very nice. (A definite 4 and 3/8ths) The flavors and textures work together well. The sweet of the dates, the tartness of the apricots, the creaminess of the filling and the crunch of the lettuce makes these a delightful side dish. I shall be making these again.

This recipe has eye appeal and great flavor. I was looking for a meal that used fresh apricots from our tree, and dates from Cosco, and served this delicious salad with Morocan Spiced Chicken with Almonds (recipe 49146), Rice with Dates and Walnut (recipe 104629), and a mediteranean zucchini/tomato dish. The salad was a great complement to the other foods. Thanks Bergy for a healthy, fast and delicious recipe.
