3 cups (one medium or two small) jicama, peeled and cut into small pieces
1 cup carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
2 cups oranges, cut into small pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil OR vegetable oil
2 tablespoons 100% orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Equipment
Medium bowl
Small bowl
Mixing utensils for medium bowl and small bowl

Measuring cups and spoons
Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, and produce.

Tips
- Jicama is often a seasonal ingredient found in the summer. If jicama is not available near you, try substituting 3 cups green Granny Smith apples, chopped into small pieces.
- To prepare jicama, gently peel off brown outer skin using a peeler, as you would a potato.
