Romaine Lettuce and Orange Salad - Moroccan Salad of Cos Lettuce and Oranges

This refreshing Moroccan salad combines crisp Romaine lettuce with sliced oranges. Adjust the sugar and orange flower water to your own tastes. The oranges will macerate as the salad chills, but if you'd like the salad to be extra juicy, include the optional orange juice. Serve well-chilled in individual bowls.

The salad is especially beautiful and delicious when blood oranges are in season.
