Serves 4

Ingredients

Jicama
2 cups, peeled and julienned
Oranges

1/4 cup, thinly sliced
Cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped
Lime juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the julienned jicama, segmented oranges, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Gently toss these ingredients to mix well.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a zesty dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
