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

Chile-Dusted Oranges with Jicama and Cucumber is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal.
