Recipe courtesy of Chef Carole Levy, PPMNY Culinary Educator

Ingredients

  • 1 large jicama (approximately 1 lb), peeled and cut into

  • matchsticks
  • 2 large oranges, peeled and segmented*
  • 1 tsp of zest from orange or lime
  • ¼ cup red onion, sliced
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ¼ tsp ancho chili powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Peel and segment the oranges with a paring knife. Squeeze the empty membranes over a
large bowl to release the juices.
2. Using a sharp knife, trim top and bottom of the jicama and generously peel tough brown
skin. Cut jicama into matchstick-size pieces.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with oranges. Toss well.
4. Serve immediately or refrigerate several hours.

Chef's Notes

*In addition to the oranges, you can also add grapefruit. Use blood oranges when they
are in season (December - April).
