A refreshing and vibrant salad combining the crunch of jicama with the zest of citrus and a hint of spice.
Peel and slice the jicama into thin sticks.
Use a sharp knife to make peeling and slicing the jicama easier.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
For a decorative touch, use a crinkle cutter for the cucumber slices.
Peel and segment the oranges, removing any seeds.
Work over a bowl to catch any juice that drips while segmenting the oranges.
Peel and dice the mango into bite-sized pieces.
Choose a mango that yields slightly to pressure for the best flavor.
Combine the jicama, cucumber, orange segments, and mango in a mixing bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the orange segments.
Squeeze the lime over the mixture and sprinkle with chili powder and salt.
Adjust the chili powder and salt to taste.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter and garnish with cilantro and jalapeño slices.
Arrange the garnish attractively for a visually appealing presentation.
