Pour the mint-flavoured orange juice over the slices, then sprinkle with the almonds and drained raisins. Sprinkle the salad with the cinnamon, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 h.

Very light and refreshing palette-cleansing salad. I often serve this dish after a heavy meal (before dessert or instead of dessert).
