Ingredients You'll Need
1 red grapefruit, peel and pith removed
1 navel orange, peel and pith removed
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
4 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus leaves for garnish

Directions
Working over a large bowl, carefully carve out sections of grapefruit and orange from membranes using a paring knife, letting sections fall into bowl and reserving membranes.
Transfer juices to a small non-reactive bowl; squeeze membranes into bowl.
Discard membranes.
Add lime juice, cilantro, red pepper flakes, and
salt to the small bowl with the juices; stir to combine.
Add jicama, apple, and cucumber to the large bowl with the fruit.
