This refreshing jícama and melon salad is a vibrant celebration of texture and bright, zesty flavours. The starchy crunch of the jícama pairs beautifully with the juicy sweetness of cantaloupe and navel oranges, while the pomegranate seeds provide a sophisticated pop of colour. This vegan dish is naturally hydrating and light, making it an ideal choice for warm afternoons or as a palate-cleansing side for a spicy main course.
Quick to assemble and naturally gluten-free, this plant-based salad benefits from a short rest in the fridge to let the lime juice and coriander infuse the fruit. Whether you are serve it at a summer barbecue or as a healthy weekday lunch, the optional dusting of chilli powder adds a subtle warmth that elevates the entire dish.
