Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) jicama
- 2 ripe, medium-sized mango
- 2 lime
- 1 teaspoon chile powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup, loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 medium-sized red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the mangoes, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into thin strips similar in size to the jicama. Add to the bowl with the jicama.
Thinly slice the red onion and chop the cilantro leaves. Add both to the bowl with the jicama and mango.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the limes, chile powder, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or plate and garnish with additional cilantro leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing dish.
