Chojín Alma Guillermoprieto of Cambridge, Massachusetts, writes: "My guatemalan grandmother made a salad she called chojín. I remember the taste vividly, but when I went to Guatemala, no one knew the dish. This is my attempt to re-create it." While the ingredients in this recipe are extremely simple, the result is an eye-opening explosion of flavors.

Preparation Cut peel, including all white pith, from oranges with a small sharp knife, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and transfer to a large bowl (you should have about 4 cups). Peel jicama with a large sharp knife, then quarter lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices (you should have about 3 cups). Add to oranges along with onion, radishes, vinegar, and salt. Toss until combined, then chill, covered, at least 1 hour. Toss again before serving, sprinkled with pork rinds and peanuts. Cooks' note:Chojín, without pork rinds and peanuts, can be chilled up to 1 day.
