Orange, Watercress and Jicama Salad

                            

Ingredients:

1 jicama
3 oranges
1 lime
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup watercress

Directions:

Peel the jicama and cut into 1/2 inch cubes, or julienne into "matchsticks" if you have more time and would like a prettier presentation. Place the jicama into a medium-sized bowl and add the juice of one of the oranges and the zest from about half of the orange peel. Cut the remaining oranges into bite-sized pieces and add to the bowl. Add the salt and the juice from half of the lime and toss to combine. Rough chop the watercress, then add to the bowl and combine with the other ingredients.

 

*I added a little more orange juice, lime juice and salt for my taste
