Carrot, Date, and Orange Salad

This refreshing salad is a Moroccan favorite that makes the most out of three widely used ingredients. In the countryside, where orange orchards are common, families press their own orange oil to make orange blossom water. In the United States, orange blossom water can be found in specialty stores.

Even children will love the unique combination of soft and crunchy textures and sweet and sour tastes in this salad. Both the salad and dressing can be made in advance, and stored separately in the refrigerator. Pour dressing over salad just before serving.
