Chef's Tips
For a spicier dressing, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a small amount of finely minced jalapeño.
To prevent the oranges from drying out, prepare them just before assembling the salad.
If you don't have jicama, you can substitute with daikon radish or crisp apples for a similar texture.
