Sunny Day Jicama-Orange Salad image

Posted for ZWT5 from care2.com site. Interesting that it has allspice in it. Notice that you chill the dressing but not necessarily the assembled salad. And it might not taste quite the same without silty, white glowing sand stuck between your toes and the near promise of a turquoise swim, but you can always imagine.
