Moroccan salads are worthy of an entire chapter by themselves. Ranging from the savory to the slightly sweet, they offer a range of flavors. This variation on the classic orange and radish salad combines the sweetness of the orange-flower water, confectioners’ sugar, and the oranges with the bite of the grated radish for an unusual but refreshing taste.—Jessica B.

convert Ingredients
6 large red globe radishes
4 large navel oranges
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons orange-flower water
1 teaspoon confectioners’ sugar
Directions
1. Wash the radishes thoroughly. Cut off and discard the green tops and roots and grate or shred radishes into a glass salad bowl.
2. Peel the oranges and segment them, removing all membrane. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the juice. Place the oranges in the bowl with the grated radish.
3. Mix the orange juice, orange-flower water, and sugar together in a small glass bowl, and pour over the orange and radish mix. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes so that the flavors mix. Serve at room temperature.
