Citrus-Fennel Salad

This Citrus-Fennel Salad is a sensory journey—each bite a brushstroke from a Mediterranean dusk.

Charred Medjool dates bring warmth and depth, their caramelized edges echoing the last rays of sun on stone. And then, the smoky almond dust—golden, fragrant, and just coarse enough to crunch—grounds the dish in earthy elegance. Finished with mint and fennel fronds, it’s not just a salad—it’s a moment suspended between day and night.
