Moroccan Orange Salad

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”-Leonardo da Vinci

And just like that Morocco knocked out Spain on penalties to reach the World Cup Quarter finals. They are the first Arab representative to have survived this far at a global final. Kudos to the team and all the best for the rest.

So, I decided to stir up something simple, sweet, quick and very Moroccan to celebrate. Did you know that Morocco is known for its juicy citrus fruits? Here is a dish that caught my attention and ticked all the boxes. Apart from my so called “no sugar diet” and my love for zesty flavors, it was the beautiful and simple presentation here that stole my heart. Just can wait to stud the next party table with this dish and see how ornate and level-up the spread is going to look.
