Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Slice stem and flower ends from oranges. Using a sharp paring knife and working from top to bottom, slice off peel and pith. Thinly slice each orange crosswise. You should get 8 to 10 slices from each orange.

  2. Step 2

    On a platter, scatter ⅓ of arugula leaves. Then layer rest of ingredients, placing ⅓ of dates on top of and around arugula, then slices of orange and a few slices of cheese, and almonds. Continue layering until all ingredients mingle but are not piled up. Sprinkle with oil, and season lightly with pepper. Serve.

Tip
  • Eight ounces of Huile d'Amande almond oil is $21.50 at Dean & Deluca; ¼ liter of hazelnut oil is $4.99 at Fairway.
