Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) Jicama
- 2 large Navel oranges
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Lime
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel the jicama using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler, then slice it into matchstick-sized pieces or dice into small cubes, depending on your preference.
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the segments into small, bite-sized pieces.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, uniform pieces.
Finely chop the red onion to ensure even distribution in the salsa.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely. Avoid using large stems for better texture.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder heat, then finely mince the jalapeño.
Juice the lime into a small bowl to extract the fresh lime juice. Remove any seeds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared jicama, oranges, red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
Pour the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle in the salt. Gently toss everything together until evenly mixed and coated.
Serve immediately or let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Accompany with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite dishes.
