Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Stephen Ceideburg
2 Grapefruit, peeled and white pith removed
2 Oranges, peeled and white pith removed
1 cup Peeled, diced jicama
4 Yellow wax hot chilies, sliced in thin rings
1 tablespoon Walnut or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons Sugar
2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Chilies and citrus fruits combine in a powerful combination of vitamin C and flavor. This salad complements fish and poultry especially well. Jicama, a crunchy, mild flavored tuber, is available at Latin markets and in many supermarkets.

Cut fruit sections away from their surrounding membranes into a bowl.

Add jicama, chilies, oil, vinegar, lime juice, parsley and sugar and toss to coat. Let salad stand at room temperature for 1 hour. (The salad can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated overnight.) Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with walnuts.
