Directions
Step 1
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchsticks or small cubes. Place in a large salad bowl.

Peel and segment the oranges and grapefruit, removing the membranes to keep only the juicy segments. Add to the salad bowl with the jicama.
Step 3
Zest and juice the lime. Set the zest aside for garnish and drizzle the lime juice over the jicama and citrus segments to prevent oxidation.
Step 4
Add the pomegranate seeds and chopped mint leaves to the bowl, gently tossing to combine.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine (or grape juice), orange juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the sangria dressing.
Step 6
Pour the sangria dressing over the salad, tossing gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 7
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Before serving, garnish with lime zest and additional mint leaves, if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
