This salad isn’t particularly traditional. It’s Mexican‑adjacent, kind of like San Diego. Even so, it delivers bright, crunchy, citrusy flavor in a way that feels instantly familiar. It’s built entirely from ingredients you can find almost anywhere: cilantro, oranges, radishes, jicama, onion, and a little avocado for richness. Everything gets tossed in a simple lime‑orange dressing and finished with a generous shake of Tajín. It’s refreshing, colorful, and the kind of salad people don’t expect to love but always do.
Notes & Tips
- Cilantro: If your bunches are small, use two.
- Oranges: Supreming looks fancy, but rustic slices work just as well.
- Avocado: Optional, but adds creaminess and makes the salad feel more substantial.
- Tajín: The finishing touch. It adds acidity, salt, and gentle heat in one shake.
- Serving ideas: Great with grilled meats, tacos, or as a bright side for heavier dishes.
- Make‑ahead: Prep everything except the avocado and dressing. Toss right before serving.
