Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Jicama
- 2 large Orange
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Optional: chili powder for garnish
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scrape out the seeds, then cut the cucumber into thin half-moon slices.
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into bite-sized segments, discarding any seeds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, jicama strips, and orange segments.
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad for added freshness and color.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of chili powder over the top for a slight kick of heat.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an even more refreshing taste.
