This vibrant chilli-dusted orange, jíicama and cucumber salad is a refreshing vegan dish that celebrates clean, bright flavours and contrasting textures. The natural sweetness of navel oranges pairs beautifully with the crisp, water-rich crunch of jíicama and seedless cucumber. A light dusting of cayenne pepper provides a gentle heat that cuts through the citrus, creating a sophisticated flavour profile that is both hydrating and invigorating.
Ideal as an elegant starter or a light side dish for a summer barbecue, this salad is incredibly simple to assemble. Using fresh, seasonal produce ensures the best results, as the juice from the oranges acts as a natural dressing alongside a pinch of salt. It is a nutritious, low-calorie choice for those seeking a healthy, homemade addition to their plant-based repertoire.
