Printed in 'Cooking at the Kasbah' by Kitty Morse with a small amount of revamping. Simple and light salad. When available, use Meyer lemon. Valencia oranges were a delicious choice as would be blood oranges! I added a small amount of green onions and walnuts to the salad and Barhi dates in place of the more common medjool.
