JICAMA AND MANDARIN ORANGE SALAD image

Categories     Citrus     Fruit     Brunch     No-Cook     Quick & Easy

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

Jicama, two cups, 1/2" cubes
madarin oranges, large 303 can, and 4 Tbl of liquid from oranges
cilantro, 3/4 cup, chopped
fresh squeezed limes, 1/4 cup
optional:
blue cheese sprinkles, 3 Tbl
chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup

Steps:

  • Peel and chop the Jicama in small cubes. Add can of mandarin oranges with small amount of liquid. Add chopped cilantro. Add squeezed lime juice, and toss. Refrigerate 10 or 15 minutes. Just before serving you may add blue cheese sprinkles, and/or chopped nuts. Toss and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jicama: Look for jicama that is firm and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid jicama that is soft or has any bruises or cuts.
  • Peel the jicama properly: Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the jicama. Be sure to remove all of the brown skin.
  • Cut the jicama into uniform pieces: This will help ensure that the jicama cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the jicama: Jicama should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges will give the salad the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice, but the flavor will not be as good.

Conclusion:

Jicama and orange salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
