Chicory Salad Recipe

Chicory are in season and so I made a salad that the recipe I found on internet.
Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

2 large navel oranges
180g carrots; peeled, grated or pared into long strips
10 green olives, stoned and quartered
1 head chicory, trimmed
2 tbsp lightly-toasted pine nuts ( I used roasted peanuts)
generous pinch of cinnamon
2 tbsp lemon juice
5 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp clear honey
2 tsp orange flower water
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Peel the oranges, removing as much of the bitter pith as possible then slice horizontally into very thin rounds. Place in a bowl, cover, and chill. Add the carrots and olives to a bowl and set aside. Meanwhile mix the lemon juice, orange juice, honey, orange flower water and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk to combine, until well blended.

Pour all but 2 tbsp of th dressing over the carrots and olives and toss to combine. Arrange the orange slices around the edges of a round palate then pull the chicory leaves apart and place them on the plate, just inside the orange slices. Scatter the carrot and olive mixture over the top then garnish with the nuts and cinnamon. Dribble the remaining dressing over the top and serve.
