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