1 teaspoon orange zest
1 pinch celtic sea salt

  1. In a food processor, pulse pistachios, orange juice, orange zest and salt
  2. With a sharp knife, make a slit on one side of each date and remove the pit
  3. Push a teaspoon of pistachio paste into each date; gently squeeze closed so that filling spills over

    I have just come across your blog and I love it. These look so delicious! I am a GREAT fan of Celtic Sea salt and use it exclusively. Love the taste and its health benefits too.

    J- Thanks for your comment. Isn’t Celtic Sea Salt the best? People are really catching on to its benefits and it is not as obscure as it used to be.

    I just checked out your blog http://www.vegeyum.com/ and saw pictures of your beautiful trip to India. Funny that you commented over here, on this post about dates, as it is one of my recipes that really takes me back to my days of studying Ayurveda and teaching Yoga! Your India post took me back to those days as well.
