Oriental cuisine is completely unusual in its taste. Each dish has a range of flavors. Sweet dishes can have a sour or spicy flavor, while second courses can be sweet. The same can be said about oriental salads, which include, at first glance, incompatible components. One of these dishes is an exotic tangerine and date salad, in which citrus sourness is intertwined with the honey taste of dates, the spicy taste of ginger and the freshness of mint.

- - small tangerines - 3 pcs.
- - large grapefruit - 1 pc.

Step 1
Rinse the dates under hot water, pour boiled hot water over them and leave in it for five minutes. Transfer dates to a paper towel and pat dry completely. Peel the tangerines from the seeds and skins, cut their juicy pulp into large cubes. Cut the dried dates into thick slices. Cut the washed and peeled apples into small slices, after removing the box with seeds from them.
Step 2
Hold the grapefruit under a stream of hot running water for two minutes, wipe it dry with a paper or cotton towel and roll it on the table with some effort. With a sharp knife, cut this fruit into two equal halves, squeeze out the juice, and then strain it through cheesecloth.
Step 3
Put a saucepan with a thick bottom on the stove and pour filtered water into it, boil, reduce heat a little, add ginger root, peeled beforehand, cook for at least five minutes.
