Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (peeled and julienned) Jicama
- 2 medium (peeled and segmented) Oranges
- 1 cup (sliced into half-moons) Cucumber
- 1 small (thinly sliced) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Prepare the jicama by peeling off the thick skin with a knife or vegetable peeler. Cut the peeled jicama into thin julienne slices and place them in a large bowl.
Peel the oranges by slicing off the top and bottom, then cutting away the skin and pith with a knife. Carefully segment the oranges, removing any seeds, and add them to the bowl with the jicama.
Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and the red bell pepper into thin strips. Add these to the bowl along with the chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a bit more lime juice or honey for balance, depending on your preference.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing taste.
