JICAMA FRUIT SALAD
This jicama fruit salad is also known as "pico de gallo" in Mexico. Not to be confused with the other pico de gallo, which is a savory salsa. This salad is very refreshing and very forgiving. Any fruits can be added but the original vegetable in this salad is always jicama.

Steps:
- Julienne the jicama, beets, and carrots. Mix together in a large bowl.
- Drain the mandarin oranges, reserving liquid. Add the orange segments to the jicama mixture.
- Remove the zest of 1 lime and set aside. Juice the limes, which should yield about 3 tablespoons Whisk up the lime juice and the zest with 1/4 cup of the mandarin orange liquid. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make smooth vinaigrette. You could get away with a little less oil here if that's a concern. Check the flavour of the vinaigrette; if it's too sour for your tastes, add a little honey or agave nectar to take the lime edge off.
- Pour the vinaigrette over jicama mixture. Add in the cilantro and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the salad to a platter or serving bowl and sprinkle with the peanuts.

Never tried jicama? It is a crunchy Mexican turnip, and I love to use it in this super easy salad. The jicama is ideal alongside the vibrant flavors of the tangerines and shallots. Between the sweet and sour flavors in this salad and its crunchy texture, it's all delish if you ask me. -Crystal Jo Bruns, Iliff, Colorado
