Ingredients

• 2 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Jicama
• 2 large Orange
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Optional: chili powder for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scrape out the seeds, then cut the cucumber into thin half-moon slices.

Step 2

Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips.

Step 3

Peel the oranges, removing as much of the white pith as possible. Cut the oranges into bite-sized segments, discarding any seeds.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cucumber, jicama strips, and orange segments.

Step 5

Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Step 6

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad for added freshness and color.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of chili powder over the top for a slight kick of heat.

Step 8

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