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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a bit more lime juice or honey for balance, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing taste.
