Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño to the dressing.

If you don't have fresh oranges, you can substitute canned mandarin oranges, but be sure to drain them well.

This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors will meld together even more.

Garnish with a sprig of cilantro or a lime wedge before serving.
