JICAMA SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE AND MINT CREAM
The chef Eric Werner, who moved from Brooklyn to the Yucatán Peninsula, in Mexico, in 2009, and opened Hartwood in Tulum, puts in long hours on the road every week chasing down local produce at remote markets and farms. He might not know what he'll do with it once back in the kitchen, he has the knack for turning a jumble of tropical fruits and vegetables into an American-style composed salad or a rustic but elegant side dish. Jicama is native to Central America, and readily available in the United States, but most home cooks haven't embraced it yet. This salad should change that. It's sliced into refreshing, crunchy slices, then lavished with flavors like mint and lime that are cool, tart and sweet. If you're not putting the salad together immediately, keep the sliced jicama in the refrigerator, covered with cold water and a squeeze of lemon juice. It will last for at least a day. Pat dry before using.

Steps:
- Using a knife or peeler, peel jicama. Cut off rounded edges to shape jicama into a solid square or rectangle. Slice 1/4 inch thick, then cut slices into 2-inch squares. Set aside in a bowl.
- Peel oranges with a knife and cut into segments, removing as much white pith as possible. Add to jicama (reserving a few segments for garnish) and refrigerate. This can be done up to 4 hours ahead.
- Make the mint cream: In a blender, combine pepitas, mint, oil, honey and lime juice. Blend at high speed until smooth. While blending, slowly add 1/2 cup cold water and blend until emulsified. Blend in sour cream and salt. Strain to remove any solids.
- When ready to serve, add pepitas, sunflower seeds and mint leaves to bowl (reserving a few leaves for garnish) with jicama and oranges. Whisk together lime juice, oil, salt and honey, then pour over salad and toss gently. Taste for salt and other seasonings, adding more as needed.
- Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of mint cream on each plate or bowl and swirl to cover bottom. Gently spoon salad mixture on top. Garnish with reserved orange segments and mint leaves, plus watermelon or pomegranate seeds and molasses, if using. Serve immediately.

JICAMA -POMEGRANATE SALAD
This recipe comes from my Mom. Jicama belongs to the legume or bean family (Fabaceae). It is a popular dietary staple in Latin America and widely grown in Mexico and Central America. Jicama looks similar to a turnip or a large radish, and it can be used as an alternative to the water chestnut. Raw jicama is often used as an accompaniment to raw vegetable platters.

Steps:
- With a manual citrus juicer squeeze enough juice from pomegranate half, pressing sides against center of juicer and pressing on any whole seeds in juicer with thumbs, to measure 1/4 cup. Peel and cut jícama into 1/4-inch-thick slices. On a cutting board stack slices, 2 or 3 at a time, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. In a bowl toss jícama with pomegranate juice. Chill mixture, covered, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes to allow jícama to absorb some of juice.
- Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Trim haricots verts and in a saucepan of boiling salted water blanch 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Transfer beans with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking and drain in a colander. Cut remaining pomegranate in half and with hands gently break in two. Bend back rinds and dislodge seeds from membranes. Coarsely chop walnuts.
- To jícama mixture add beans, pomegranate seeds, parsley, oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
- Serve salad sprinkled with walnuts.
Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: The freshness and quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your salad. Choose ripe and flavorful pomegranates, crisp haricots verts, crunchy jcama, and walnuts that are fresh and not rancid.
- Roast the walnuts: Roasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a nice nutty aroma to the salad. Simply spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and slightly browned.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it easy to assemble the salad at the last minute.
- Toss the salad gently: When tossing the salad, be gentle to avoid bruising the delicate ingredients. Use a light touch and toss the salad just until the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The jcama will start to soften over time, so it is best to enjoy the salad while it is still crisp.
Conclusion:
This salad of pomegranates, haricots verts, jcama, and walnuts is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy these healthy ingredients. The sweet and tart flavors of the pomegranates, the crispness of the haricots verts and jcama, and the nutty flavor of the walnuts all come together to create a salad that is both flavorful and satisfying. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it is also a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats or fish.
