Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) jicama
- 2 large orange
- 1 large lime
- 1 medium cucumber
- 5 small radish
- 0.5 cup, chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon (optional) tajín seasoning
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Place the strips in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and section the oranges, removing any seeds. Slice the sections in half if they are large, and add them to the bowl with the jicama.
Juice the lime and set the juice aside for the dressing.
Peel the cucumber (optional) and slice it into thin rounds or half-moons. Add the cucumber to the bowl.
Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the mixing bowl along with the chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and honey. If using tajín seasoning, add it to the dressing as well for extra flavor.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, tossing gently to combine and coat everything evenly.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and garnish with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of tajín seasoning if desired.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or appetizer.
