Ingredients

2 Oranges large
2 cups Carrots peeled & grated
1/2 cup Dates chopped
1/2 cup Nuts chopped
1 tsp Sugar to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel one large orange and cut out the segments.
  2. Squeeze the juice from the second large orange.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups peeled and grated carrots, 1/2 cup chopped dates, and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
  4. Add the orange segments, freshly squeezed juice, and 1 teaspoon sugar to taste.
  5. Toss gently to combine and serve fresh.

Hints & Tips

  • Use sweet, juicy oranges – Valencia or navel oranges work perfectly for a bright, refreshing flavour.
  • Toast the nuts – Lightly toasting the chopped nuts brings out their aroma and adds extra crunch.
  • Serve chilled – Let the salad sit in the fridge for 30 minutes before serving for a crisp, refreshing taste.
  • Add spice – A pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger pairs beautifully with the carrots and dates.
  • Swap the nuts – Almonds, pecans, or walnuts all work well depending on your preference.
