Ensalada Pico de Gallo

Description
Orange salad. 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).

Ingredients

 * 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
 * 1 cup peeled, julienne-cut jícama
 * 5 cup loosely packed torn romaine or red-tip lettuce leaves
 * 2 cup peeled, sliced navel oranges
 * ¼ cup walnut or almond roughly chopped, (optional)

Dressing

 * ¼ cup fresh orange juice
 * 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
 * 1½ tbsp honey
 * ½ tbsp cumin
 * ½ tbsp red chile powder
 * ½ tbsp salt
 * 2 tbsp finely mined cilantro

Directions

 * 1) Whisk together all dressing ingredients - drizzle half the dressing over the onions and jícama, refrigerate for at least an hour - just before serving, remove onions and jícama from marinade and toss with the lettuce.
 * 2) Arrange oranges on top and drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad.
 * 3) (Optional) sprinkle the nuts on top.
