Name: Orange and Jicama Salad
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: ¼ cup 100% orange juice; 2 Tbsp . fresh lime juice; 2 Tbsp . red wine vinegar; 2 tsp . extra-virgin olive oil; 4 medium oranges (, peeled, separated into sections); 8 oz . jicama (, peeled, cut into matchstick-sized pieces); 4 cups chopped ((or torn) romaine lettuce); 4 cups chopped ((or torn) red leaf lettuce); 1 Tbsp . toasted pine nuts

Jicama makes this salad crunchy and really filling! We infuse extra flavor into it by soaking the matchstick-size pieces in a lime and red wine vinegar dressing with oranges.

Got some spare time on your hands? It’s worth the extra effort to toast the pine nuts in a hot dry pan until they become fragrant and start to turn golden brown. Try this jicama salad as an easy side dish with baked chicken or salmon.
