JICAMA - APPLE SALAD
This recipe has such a nice crisp texture. Not overly sweet, would make a nice change of pace for coleslaw. I came up with this just experimenting. I think chopped walnuts would also be good in this.

- In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, lime juice, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flat iron steak, flank steak, or skirt steak are all good options for this salad. They're all relatively lean and cook quickly.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic.
- Cook the beef on skewers: Cooking the beef on skewers helps to keep it from drying out. You can also use a grill pan if you don't have skewers.
- Don't overcook the beef: Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare. Overcooking will make the beef tough.
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables: Jicama, apples, and radishes are all good choices for this salad. Make sure they're crisp and fresh.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
Conclusion:
This grilled beef, jicama, and apple salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy beef. It's perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the jicama, apples, and radishes add a refreshing crunch. The dressing is light and tangy, and it brings all the flavors together perfectly.
