orange-scented fruit salad
This Moroccan fruit salad can be changed up depending on what fruits are in season. Consider using watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, to name a few. Maybe not so traditional, but it will taste just as good! Orange blossom water can get overpowering quite quickly, so start off with a tablespoon and adjust to your taste.
