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.

Steps:
- Combine jicama and oil in a bowl and toss well. Add lime juice, chile powder, and salt. Toss to coat. Divide salad among 4 small bowls, then sprinkle each with 1/4 of the mint and cheese right before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right jicama: Look for jicama that is firm and smooth, with no blemishes or wrinkles. The skin should be light brown and slightly translucent.
- Peel the jicama properly: Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the jicama, removing the thin, papery skin.
- Cut the jicama evenly: For a uniform salad, cut the jicama into thin matchsticks or julienne strips.
- Marinate the jicama: Marinating the jicama in a mixture of lime juice, salt, and pepper will help to enhance its flavor and make it more tender.
- Add your favorite ingredients: Feel free to add other fruits, vegetables, or nuts to your salad to create a unique and flavorful dish.
