JICAMA WITH ORANGE, CUCUMBER, MANGO, RED CHILE & LIME

Jicama With Orange, Cucumber, Mango, Red Chile & Lime image

I adopted this recipe after Mean Chef (IHHDRO) left the site. The comments from my original review stated, " This salad is an excellent blend of flavors. I used a diced red pepper instead of the red jalapeno and upped the cayenne just a bit in order to balance out the heat. It was fabulous. This is a wonderful summer side dish." This is great for cookouts or just simple summer meals. We love this salad.

Tips:

Choose ripe, juicy oranges. This will ensure that your oranges are sweet and flavorful.
Use a sharp knife to cut the oranges. This will help to prevent the oranges from tearing.
Be careful not to cut the oranges too thickly. If the oranges are too thick, they will not cook evenly.
Use a light touch when dusting the oranges with chile powder. Too much chile powder can overpower the flavor of the oranges.
Serve the oranges immediately. This will help to preserve their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Chile-Dusted Oranges with Jicama and Cucumber is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet oranges, spicy chile powder, and crunchy jicama and cucumber is sure to please everyone at your table.
