How to Make Avocado Orange And Jicama Salad

  1. Peel and julienne 1 medium jicama (about 1 pound) by cutting into 1/4-inch thick slices, then stack and cut into 1/4-inch strips.
  2. Chop the jicama strips into 2-inch sticks and place them in a medium bowl.
  3. Peel and remove the pith from 2 large oranges. Cut into sections and add to the bowl with the jicama, reserving the juice.
  4. Squeeze any remaining juice from the orange membranes into a small bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of jalapeno jelly and whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the jalapeno jelly mixture over the jicama and orange sections.
  6. Cut 1 ripe avocado into 1/2-inch dice. Finely chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro and 1/4 cup of red onion (adjust to your preference).
  7. Gently toss the avocado, cilantro, and red onion with the jicama and orange mixture.
  8. Let the salad stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or chill for 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve over a bed of mixed greens for an added nutritional boost (optional).
