Serves 25 - 76 cal per serving
Prep-time: 15 min. - Total-time: 45 min.

Use very fresh eggs. Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff. Gradually add the sugar whilst beating. Add a pinch of salt and lemon juice. Fold in the chopped almonds and finely diced dates and mix well. Using a teaspoon, place small heaps of the mixture on a paper lined baking tray. Leave enough space between the meringues to allow the mixture to spread. Bake in a moderate oven at 180 C/ 350 F for approx. 20 minutes until slightly browned.
