Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 pound) Jicama
- 1 large Orange
- 1 medium-sized Cucumber
- 1 ripe Mango
- 1 teaspoon Red chile powder
- 2 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the jicama using a vegetable peeler or a knife, removing the thick outer skin. Slice the jicama into thin sticks, roughly 2-3 inches long.
Peel the orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the orange into small bite-sized segments.
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds if desired (optional). Cut the cucumber into thin half-moon slices.
Peel the mango and slice the flesh away from the pit. Cut the mango into thin sticks or cubes, similar in size to the jicama sticks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jicama, orange, cucumber, and mango.
Sprinkle the red chile powder and salt evenly over the mixture. Use clean hands or a spoon to toss everything gently, so the seasoning coats the ingredients evenly.
Juice the two limes and drizzle the fresh lime juice over the salad. Toss everything once more to combine.
If desired, finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle it on top as a garnish.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Enjoy!
