Ingredients
Cilantro Lime Dressing
- 2 limes, zested and juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
Salad
- 1 medium jicama
- 4 blood oranges
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- ½ pomegranate, arils removed
- chili lime sea salt, to taste (or mixture of sea salt and red pepper flakes)
Instructions
- Mix together all dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Peel jicama. Slice into 1/16" thin slices on mandoline slicer (or as thin as you can get them). Cut slices into ½" wide strips. Place in medium bowl and toss with dressing until all pieces are well-coated. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving to allow the jicama to soak up the flavor of the dressing.
- Cut ends off of blood oranges, then cut the rest of the rind off. Slice oranges into ⅛" thin slices. Refrigerate if not serving right away.
- Just before serving, toss jicama again to disperse the dressing. Top with orange slices, avocado slices and pomegranate arils. Sprinkle with chili lime sea salt.
