Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) Jicama
- 2 large Oranges
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick strips or small cubes. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into segments or bite-sized pieces, collecting any juice that drips while cutting. Add the orange segments to the bowl with the jicama.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the jicama and oranges.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and sprinkle them into the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste for a balanced combination of spicy, tangy, and sweet flavors.
Pour the chipotle vinaigrette over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish. For best results, allow the salad to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy a crisp, flavorful salad with a smoky kick!
