Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) jicama
- 2 large navel oranges
- 0.5 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon tajin seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler and slice it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible, and cut them into bite-sized segments or rounds. Add them to the bowl with the jicama.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, tajin seasoning, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the jicama, orange segments, and onion. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the dressing evenly coats all the ingredients.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Gently fold the cilantro into the mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Feel free to add more tajin for extra zing or a pinch of salt if needed.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold and enjoy your Sunny Day Jicama Orange Salad!
