Ingredients

10 minutes

4-6

Salad

• 6 JAZZ Apples
• 4-5 large Medjool dates
• ¼ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
• 1 fresh lime, zest & juice 
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Dressing

• ¼ cup pure maple
• 1 tbs vanilla paste 
• Juice of ½ lime
• Tiny pinch of flaked sea salt

Method

1. Place the dressing ingredients into a small jar and shake to combine then set aside. 
2. Slice the JAZZ Apples into rounds ½ cm thick.
3. Arrange them on a plate or tray and squeeze ½ lime juice over the slices to stop them from browning. 
4. Next, pour half of the dressing over the JAZZ Apples and set aside. 
5. Remove the seeds from the middle of the dates and finely slice. I like to freeze my dates beforehand so they are easy to slice. They are also deliciously chewy when frozen! 
6. Place the dressed JAZZ Apples onto a serving plate then top with the sliced dates, chopped almonds, lime zest, and a few fresh mint leaves. 
7. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve. Enjoy!
