SUMMER CUCUMBER JICAMA SALAD



Summer Cucumber Jicama Salad image

This is a really great cucumber salad that's light and flavorful and makes a great starter! Tastes fine as it is, but can be salted and peppered to taste, if desired. Just remember to add all ingredients and mix before adding in the tomatoes, as they are extremely delicate and do not withstand stirring very well once they are cut.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe oranges. If your oranges are not very juicy, you may need to add a little bit of water to the recipe.
  • Be sure to remove the white pith from the oranges before slicing them. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming bitter.
  • If you don't have any jicama, you can substitute radishes or daikon radish.
  • To make the salad more spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • This salad is best served immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

This chile-dusted oranges, jicama, and cucumber salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this recipe a try!
