Peel the jicama and cut it into matchstick-sized strips or small cubes, about 2 inches long.
Peel the navel oranges, removing all of the white pith. Slice the oranges into thick rounds and then cut the rounds into quarters.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jicama and oranges.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, honey, and salt to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the jicama and oranges. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely and sprinkle it over the salad as a garnish.
Serve immediately for the freshest flavors, or chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving.
