Was surprised that I easily found orange flower water, but it was no problem at all! Rather than the round, donut-shaped dried apple, I used dried Fuji apples, which are sooo good! Along with the other ingredients here, this was a very tasty salad, although I actually thought of it as a fruit compote! Whatever it is, it's definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing!
