Ingredients

• 1 large jícama, peeled and cut into matchsticks
• 1 Cucumber, cut into sticks
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 3 Spring onion, sliced
• 1 handful Coriander (cilantro), chopped
• 1 lime, juiced
• 3 tbsp Orange juice
• 2 tbsp Cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Tajín or mild chilli powder
• ½ tsp Salt
• ¼ tsp Black pepper

Method

1. Whisk the lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, olive oil, chilli powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
2. Add the jícama, cucumber, carrot, spring onion and coriander and toss well.
3. Taste for salt and lime, then serve straight away or chill for up to an hour. Sprinkle a little extra chilli powder on top.

Tips

• Peel jícama thickly with a knife: the fibrous layer under the skin is tough.
• A diced mango or a handful of orange segments makes it even more refreshing.
