Prep ingredients by cutting the jicama into strips, dicing the bell peppers (you can combine any color bell peppers; start with 1 1/2 bell peppers and add the remaining half later if preferred), dicing a small red onion (or half of a medium red onion) and a small cucumber (or half of a large cucumber), peeling the oranges and chopping into bite-size pieces, chopping the cilantro to yield about a 1/2 cup, and juicing the limes to yield about 1/3 cup.
In a large bowl, toss together jicama, bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, orange, and cilantro.
Pour lime juice over mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper and paprika.
Season with salt and let salad marinate for 30 minutes before serving.
