JICAMA SALAD - A Refreshing Multi Colored & Multi Flavored Side Dish/Lunch/Dinner

JICAMA SALAD - Complimented with avocado, oranges and more freshness

JICAMA SALAD

For me, this Jicama Salad is truly refreshing. Each time an ingredient is added, it clearly enhances the overall flavor and topped with the light zesty dressing, energizes the taste buds. This root vegetable, originally from Mexico, has a multitude of health benefits such as it is high in vitamin C and fiber and low in sugar and calories. If you are a jicama fan, I hope you try this recipe out.

Directions:

Preparing Jicama –

1. To prepare the jicama, begin cutting the jicama in half or four equal parts depending on how large it is as they can get pretty big. The one I’m using for this blog is huge.

2. Next, with a sharp knife, peel the off the tough skin. Peelers generally don’t work well for peeling a jicama because of the tough skins which is why I use a sharp knife.

3. Once the jicama is peeled, cut pieces into match stick size pieces and no thicker than ¼ inch.

4. Place cut pieces into a medium sized serving bowl.

All other Ingredients -

1. Add to the serving bowl, with the jicama already in it, the rest of the sliced/chopped ingredients [red onion, oranges, tomatoes, cilantro and avocado] one at a time and gently mix after each addition to the bowl.

Salad Dressing –

Mix all dressing ingredients together in a small picture or even a dressing bottle if you have one and viola that’s all there is for this light and tasty dressing just perfect for the salad ingredients.
