Yield Makes 8 (first course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
8 clementines (1 3/4 pounds), peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 pound jicama, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick matchsticks (3 cups)
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup packed cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or mild feta
1/3 cup raw green (hulled) pumpkin seeds (pepitas), toasted

Steps:

  • Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then whisk together with lime juice, oil, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
  • Just before serving, add clementines, jicama, onion, and cilantro and gently toss. Season with salt. Sprinkle with cheese and pumpkin seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jicama. Look for jicama that is firm and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid jicama that is soft or has any bruises or cuts.
  • Peel and cut the jicama properly. To peel the jicama, use a sharp knife to remove the skin. Then, cut the jicama into matchsticks or thin slices.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, juicy limes, and fresh cilantro.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Jicama salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the jicama will soften and the salad will become less crisp.

Conclusion:

Jicama salad is a refreshing and healthy dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is also a great way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. With its sweet and crunchy jicama, tangy lime dressing, and fresh cilantro, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
