Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 lb) jicama
- 3 large oranges
- 1 large lime
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the jicama using a sharp knife, removing both the tough outer skin and the fibrous layer underneath. Dice the jicama into small bite-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Step 2
Peel the oranges, ensuring that all the white pith is removed. Segment the oranges by slicing between the membrane of each segment or simply cut them into thin rounds.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the zest and juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of honey, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Whisk until well emulsified.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, toss the diced jicama and orange segments together.
Step 5
Drizzle the lime dressing over the jicama and oranges, and toss gently to coat.
Step 6
Add the finely chopped fresh cilantro to the salad and toss lightly once more.
Step 7
Serve immediately, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving for an extra-refreshing experience.
