- 1 medium lime
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama with a knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin. Slice it into thin matchstick pieces or small cubes, depending on your preference.
Peel the oranges and cut them into segments, removing any seeds or excess membrane. Set aside.
Wash and core the red and yellow bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips or small bite-sized pieces.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jicama, orange segments, bell peppers, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to enhance flavors. Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish.
