Date Salad

Ingredients:

• Oranges: 5 (a mix of blood oranges and Thomson oranges)
• Large pitted dates: 6
• Feta cheese: 60 grams, sliced
• Olive oil: 3 tablespoons
• Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper: to taste
• Fresh mint: 5 sprigs
• Chili pepper: half a chili, thinly sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Oranges

Peel the blood and Thomson oranges and slice them into thin rounds. Ensure you remove any seeds to prevent them from mixing into the salad.

Step 2: Preparing the Dates and Chili

Slice the pitted dates into rings. Combine them with the sliced chili and mix them with the orange slices. Sprinkle the mixture with salt and freshly ground pepper and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 3: Adding Mint and Feta Cheese

Separate the mint leaves from their stems. Use them to garnish the salad by placing them decoratively around the bowl. Add the feta cheese slices in the same way, scattering them evenly across the salad.

Step 4: Final Touch

Drizzle olive oil evenly over the entire salad. Enjoy this delicious dish, which combines the fresh flavors of herbs and fruits with sweet, tangy, spicy, and salty notes all at once. Bon appétit!
