DRESSING:
1/4 c Fresh orange juice 1 tb Fresh lime juice 1 1/2 tb Honey 1/2 t Cumin 1/2 t Red chile powder 1/2 t Salt 2 tb Finely mined cilantro ~ whisk together all dressing ingredients - drizzle half the dressing over the onions & jicama, refrigerate for at least an hour - just before serving, remove onioins & jicama from marinada & toss with the lettuce. Arrange oranges on top and drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad. - (optional) Sprinkle the nuts on top. Comment from Sally: Pico de gallo (pee-coh day guy-yoh) translates as the Bite of the Rooster. I assume that is because the salsa (which merely means "sauce") called pico de gallo is quite fiery and has a fierce bite to it. Having never been bitten by a rooster, however, I can only offer this as conjecture. (grin) Posted by Ari Kornfeld to the Fatfree Digest [Volume 11 Issue 11], Oct. 11, 1994.
