Arugula, Sun Dried Tomato, Peppers, and Date Salad

This salad's got a bit of everything - crunch, sweet, sour, salty courtesy of the arugula, dates, sumac, and sun dried tomatoes respectively. Indian dates are really puny, so was delighted to have some really fresh looking and sweet tasting imported dates. Don't know if these are Medjool dates - Can someone confirm? I also forgot to deseed my dates, since I am so used to buying deseeded dates.

  1. This looks great! And so simple! Do you soak your dates? Or just throw them in fresh?

  4. @ Leanne: No, I havent soaked the dates - they came that way. they were really sweet and not sticky like the regular ones. Have to find out where they came from!
