Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray
16 small carrots, trimmed, or 8 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch pieces
1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces) pine nuts
1 small jicama*, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch matchsticks (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice (from about 1 medium lemon or 2 medium limes)
2 teaspoons mild chile powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional)
4 cups mixed baby greens
8 leaves Belgian endive, radicchio, or red leaf lettuce (from 1 head)
8 orange slices, peeled and seeded
4 fresh figs, sliced in half (optional)
1/4 cup creamy basil dressing
*Use a paring knife, rather than a peeler, to peel the jicama, and be sure to remove the tough, fibrous flesh just below the skin.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread carrots on sheet, then very lightly spray carrots. Roast until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool.
  • In dry skillet over moderate heat, toast pine nuts, stirring constantly, until fragrant and light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer to plate and let cool.
  • In small bowl, toss jicama with lemon or lime juice, chile powder, and cayenne, if using.
  • To serve, divide mixed baby greens among 4 salad plates and top each with 4 carrots. Mound 1/3 cup jicama atop each portion. Sprinkle each salad with 2 tablespoons pine nuts and garnish each plate with 2 endive, radicchio, or red-leaf lettuce leaves; 2 orange slices; and 2 fig halves, if using. Drizzle 1 tablespoon basil dressing over each salad and serve immediately.

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 and cut the jicama properly: Use a sharp knife to peel the jicama, then cut it into matchsticks or thin slices. This will help the jicama to absorb the dressing better.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your jicama salad. Some popular additions include fruits (such as pineapple, mango, or grapes), vegetables (such as carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers), and nuts (such as peanuts or almonds).
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really brings a jicama salad to life. Be sure to use a dressing that is flavorful and complements the other ingredients in the salad. Some popular dressing options include a citrus vinaigrette, a honey-lime dressing, or a creamy avocado dressing.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Jicama salad is best served chilled. This helps to keep the jicama crisp and refreshing.
