Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) Jicama
- 2 large Orange
- 1 large Grapefruit
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 cup Pomegranate seeds
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Red wine (or grape juice for non-alcoholic version)
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchsticks or small cubes. Place in a large salad bowl.
Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit, removing the membranes to keep only the juicy segments. Add to the salad bowl with the jicama.
Zest and juice the lime. Set the zest aside for garnish and drizzle the lime juice over the jicama and citrus segments to prevent oxidation.
Add the pomegranate seeds and chopped mint leaves to the bowl, gently tossing to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine (or grape juice), orange juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the sangria dressing.
Pour the sangria dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with lime zest and additional mint leaves, if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
