JICAMA TURKEY SALAD

Jicama Turkey Salad image

I adapted this somewhat, but it comes from a recipe card from (I think) our local ShopRite, and was published by Try-Foods International way back in 1995. They recommend turkey breast, but I am a fan of dark meat due to its flavor, and so I suggest you use either, or a mixture of both. I have also cut in half the recommended amount of celery, but please add more if you prefer. If you have fresh dill, use this instead.

JICAMA SALAD

Jicama Salad image

Fruity jicama combines with beets and oranges in this sweet, refreshing salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories Food & Cooking Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 jicama (about 2 pounds), peeled
3 beets, trimmed and peeled
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths
5 navel oranges
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut jicama, beets, and carrots into a fine julienne. Toss in a large bowl.
Cut off ends of oranges; using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between sections to remove whole segments; add segments to vegetables. Squeeze juice from membranes into a bowl; measure out 1/2 cup juice; reserve remaining juice for another use.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, and oil. Pour over vegetable mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with nuts; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose fresh, crisp jicama and romaine lettuce for the best flavor and texture.
To save time, you can use pre-shredded jicama and romaine lettuce.
If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the jicama.
Be sure to rinse the jicama and romaine lettuce thoroughly before using.
Feel free to add other vegetables to this salad, such as shredded carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
For a more flavorful dressing, use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of bottled lime juice.
If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the dressing.
Serve this salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Conclusion:

Jicama and romaine salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious salad that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful salad, give this jicama and romaine salad a try.
