1 tablespoon honey
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Add to onions.

    Step 2

    Whisk orange juice, lime juice, honey, cumin and 3 tablespoons oil in small bowl. (Vegetables and dressing can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.) Add jicama and dressing to grilled vegetables; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
