    Chuyaco is very easy to make, absolutely delicious and healthy. Fresh oranges mixed with a dressing made of orange juice, panela, scallions and chili pepper. It's fresh, sweet and tangy with a little kick from the hot pepper. This orange salad is a wonderful addition to any picnic or barbecue table.

      Gorgeous! We eat a lot of orange salads in Andalucia and make a similar one which also uses chopped mint.
