Jicama Salad

4 oranges
2 cups (½-inch) julienne-cut peeled jicama

2 cups cubed peeled cantaloupe
½ cup vertically sliced red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
¼ cup fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon hot chili powder

Peel and section oranges over a bowl; squeeze membranes to extract juice. Set sections aside; reserve ¼ cup orange juice. Discard membranes.

Place the orange sections, jicama,and next 5 ingredients (jicama through mint) in a large bowl. Combine the reserved orange juice, fresh lime juice, salt, and chili powder. Pour juice mixture over jicama mixture, and toss gently. Cover and chill 2 hours.
