MEXICAN JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• Julienne the jicama, beets, and carrots. Mix together in a large bowl.
• Drain the mandarin oranges, reserving liquid. Add the orange segments to the jicama mixture.
• Remove the zest of 1 lime and set aside. Juice the limes, which should yield about 3 tablespoons Whisk up the lime juice and the zest with 1/4 cup of the mandarin orange liquid. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make smooth vinaigrette. You could get away with a little less oil here if that's a concern. Check the flavour of the vinaigrette; if it's too sour for your tastes, add a little honey or agave nectar to take the lime edge off.
• Pour the vinaigrette over jicama mixture. Add in the cilantro and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the salad to a platter or serving bowl and sprinkle with the peanuts.

JICAMA SALAD BOWL

Steps:

• 1. Cut a 1/4-inch slice off the bottom of the jicama so it will sit flat. Cut a 1-inch slice off the top. Peel the jicama as neatly as possible. Using a melon ball tool carefully scoop out the center, leaving a 3/4-inch shell all around. Set aside. 2. Put the orange, avocado, radishes, and jalapeño in a medium mixing bowl. Cut some of the scooped out center into small pieces and add to the bowl. Add the oil, lime juice, and salt. Toss to mix. Spoon the salad into the jicama shell. (Any extra salad can be added to the bowl later, or served separately.) Place the jicama shell on a round serving plate. Arrange the cucumber slices around the jicama. The salad can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
