Jicama Slaw
Posted: Jul 08, 2006 12:27 am
I just discovered jicama this year and love the fresh crunch of this root vegetable. It's kind of ugly and had a thick skin, but the flesh has a nice crispy crunch. (My local Walmart carries it.)
Here is how I prepare it. Very easy and a fresh citrus flavor. I took it to our 4th of July cook-out.
1 jicama, peeled and cut into 'matchsticks'
1/2 c. carrots, also cut into 'matchstics'
1 or 2 limes
1/4 to 1/2 c. orange juice
1 T. olive oil
All amounts are approximate, I just throw it together.
In a bowl combine jicama, carrots, orange juice, and olive oil. Zest the limes into the bowl the squeeze all the juice from the lime(s) into the bowl. Put a lid on and shake to mix it all up. Keep refrigerated and enjoy.
