Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 lb) jicama
- 3 large oranges
- 1 large lime
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama using a sharp knife, removing both the tough outer skin and the fibrous layer underneath. Dice the jicama into small bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Peel the oranges, ensuring that all the white pith is removed. Segment the oranges by slicing between the membrane of each segment or simply cut them into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, combine the zest and juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Whisk until well emulsified.
In a large salad bowl, toss the diced jicama and orange segments together.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the jicama and oranges, and toss gently to coat.
Add the finely chopped fresh cilantro to the salad and toss lightly once more.
Serve immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing experience.
