Sweet And Crunchy Jicama Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Peel 1 jicama (1 1/4 pounds) and cut into thin matchsticks. Cut 4 radishes into matchsticks. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons agave syrup, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add the jicama, radishes, 1 sliced scallion and 2 tablespoons each chopped cilantro and mint; toss. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine jicama, orange chunks, red bell pepper, cucumber, sweet yellow and orange peppers, radishes, Thai chile peppers, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lemon juice, and black pepper in a large bowl.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Using a mandolin or very sharp knife, julienne the jicama, beets, and carrots and combine in a large bowl.
• Slice off the ends of the oranges. Using a paring knife, remove the peel and pith from the oranges, following the curve of the fruit. Slice on either side of the membranes to remove the segments. Transfer the orange segments to the jicama mixture.
• Squeeze enough juice from the membranes into a bowl, to make 1/4 cup. Whisk the lime juice into the orange juice. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make smooth vinaigrette. Pour the vinaigrette over jicama mixture, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the jicama salad to a platter and sprinkle with the peanuts.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients; refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Using a knife or peeler, peel jicama. Cut off rounded edges to shape jicama into a solid square or rectangle. Slice 1/4 inch thick, then cut slices into 2-inch squares. Set aside in a bowl.
• Peel oranges with a knife and cut into segments, removing as much white pith as possible. Add to jicama (reserving a few segments for garnish) and refrigerate. This can be done up to 4 hours ahead.
• Make the mint cream: In a blender, combine pepitas, mint, oil, honey and lime juice. Blend at high speed until smooth. While blending, slowly add 1/2 cup cold water and blend until emulsified. Blend in sour cream and salt. Strain to remove any solids.
• When ready to serve, add pepitas, sunflower seeds and mint leaves to bowl (reserving a few leaves for garnish) with jicama and oranges. Whisk together lime juice, oil, salt and honey, then pour over salad and toss gently. Taste for salt and other seasonings, adding more as needed.
• Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of mint cream on each plate or bowl and swirl to cover bottom. Gently spoon salad mixture on top. Garnish with reserved orange segments and mint leaves, plus watermelon or pomegranate seeds and molasses, if using. Serve immediately.
