Questions

Is Jicama and Orange Salad spicy?

Only mildly. The heat in Jicama and Orange Salad comes from 1/2 tsp chili powder (or Tajin). For a milder plate, halve the chili powder; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

How many calories are in Jicama and Orange Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 100 calories, with 2 g protein, 22 g carbohydrate and 1 g fat, plus 5 g fiber and 280 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Jicama and Orange Salad?

It is not a good candidate. Dressed, it is best the day it is made, so keep the dressing apart and toss Jicama and Orange Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Jicama and Orange Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the jicama drops from 1 lb to 1/2 lb; doubled, it is 2 lbs. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
