• 6 medjool dates (pitted)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
• 3 tbsp chopped chives
• 1/8 tsp chili flake
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Chill your dates and brunoise (dice them very small).

Mix well with your olive oil and salt to keep from clumping. (Dates have a high sugar content and become sticky; the oil and salt help reduce this).

Fold in the remaining ingredients, tasting and adjusting to your specific taste.

Garlic may be quickly blanched prior to dicing to reduce its pungency if you prefer.
