Ingredients

2 firm mangos, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks or ribbons

2 cooked red beets, peeled and diced

1 medium jicama, peeled and cut into matchsticks

2 navel oranges, peeled and sliced into segments

½ cup fresh pomegranate seeds

½ cup roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Dressing

¼ cup orange juice
2 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Whisk the Vinaigrette: In a small jar, combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, honey, and salt. Shake vigorously until emulsified.
Build the Base: In a large, wide serving platter or shallow glass bowl, create a bed of the diced beets and jicama matchsticks.
Arrange the Fruit: Artfully arrange the orange segments and mango ribbons on top of the root vegetables to showcase the bright contrasting colors.
Garnish and Dress: Scatter the bright pomegranate seeds and roasted pepitas evenly over the top. Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the entire salad immediately before serving so the beets do not bleed into the mango.
