Jícama Carrot And Peanut Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a small heavy skillet dry-roast red pepper flakes over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer pepper flakes to a bowl and toss together with remaining ingredients and salt to taste.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, honey and salt. Add the jicama, carrots, apple and sesame seeds. Toss well to coat everything in the dressing. Let the salad sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to combine and the vegetables to soften slightly.

Steps:

• Combine the jicama, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, green chile peppers, ginger, and carrot in a large bowl. Whisk the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a separate bowl; pour over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a dry heavy skillet toast anise seeds over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Cool seeds and coarsely grind with a mortar and pestle or a cleaned electric coffee/spice grinder.
• Peel jícama and carrots and quarter jícama. Using a mandoline or other manual slicer, cut jícama and carrots into very thin slices, about 1/16 inch. Stack slices and cut into julienne strips. With a knife cut cabbage into very thin shreds. Vegetables may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled separately in sealable plastic bags.
• Coarsely chop parsley. In a large bowl stir together anise, oil, lime juice, mustard, and salt. Add vegetables and parsley, tossing to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Slaw may be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, covered.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the jicama, carrots, pineapple, and jalapeño. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, oil, and salt. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least an hour. Serve cold. NOTE: To prevent too much juice from accumulating in the salad, add the pineapple just before serving. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
