RED CHILE-JICAMA SALAD WITH ORANGE AND RED ONION

Steps:

• With a zester or vegetable peeler, remove the zest (colored peel only) from half of an orange. Finely mince the zest and transfer it to a large stainless steel or glass bowl. Add the salsa and lime juice to the orange zest. Taste and season with salt (should be a little salty). Add the jicama and onion, toss to mix well, then let stand for about 30 minutes.
• Cut the stem and blossom ends from all the oranges, then standing each orange on a cutting board and working close to the flesh, cut away the rind and all the white pith. Cut the oranges into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cut the slices into quarters.
• Stir the orange pieces and optional pineapple into the jicama mixture. Divide the lettuce between individual serving plates, forming it into a rough nest shape. Pile the marinated jicama mixture in the middle. Sprinkle everything with cilantro

When ready to serve, season with a little salt and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.
