This recipe pairs the shining flavors of fresh citrus with the crunch and sweetness of jicama and the bite of jalapeno and cilantro.
Peel the oranges, taking care to remove pith, and jicama with paring knife and cut into small pieces.
Pick the leaves off the cilantro sprigs and discard the stems. Roughly chop the leaves.
Combine the oranges, jicama, jalapeno, and cilantro in a medium bowl.
Add the lime juice and salt to taste, mix well and let marinade for one hour before serving at room temperature.
