Jicama Salad

Tonight for dinner I experimented with a new vegetable for me, Jicama.  Years ago my aunt shared with me this light and crunchy treat and I have never tried cooking with it until today.

I served this salad with boiled baby red potatoes and grilled salmon.  My family loved it.  They told me that it tasted like summer time.

Jicama Salad

1 medium size jicama
1 cucumber
1 yellow pepper
2 oranges
2 tbs of chopped scallions, just the green part
1 big handful of cilantro
2 walnut sized limes
1/3 cup of canola oil
sea salt, to taste

Peel the jicama and cut it into matchsticks.  Chop up the yellow pepper, the oranges (after you peel them), scallions, and the cilantro.  Put all of the chopped vegetables and fruit into a bowl.  Juice the two limes.  Add the juice, oil, and salt for the dressing. Toss and serve.
