Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized (about 1 pound) jicama
• 2 large oranges
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh mint leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (optional) cayenne pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the jicama using a vegetable peeler and cut it into thin matchsticks or small cubes. Place the jicama in a large bowl.

Step 2

Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Slice the oranges into segments or rounds, and add them to the bowl with the jicama.

Step 3

Add the raisins to the bowl with the jicama and oranges.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the jicama, oranges, and raisins, and gently toss everything to combine well.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the salad and toss lightly again to distribute them evenly.

Step 7

Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
