What each ingredient does
- Red onion
- Adds sharp, pungent flavour that mellows during marinating.
- Jicama
- Contributes crisp, crunchy texture that stays firm in the dressing.
- Romaine or red-tip lettuce
- Forms the leafy base, providing crisp texture and bulk.
- Navel oranges
- Add sweetness and juicy acidity that brightens the salad.
- Honey
- Adds sweetness that balances the lime and orange juice acidity.
The step that matters
Marinating the onions and jicama. Raw red onion is harsh; marinating in acidic citrus dressing softens its bite. Timing matters: too short leaves it sharp, while the lettuce should be added just before serving so it does not wilt.
