Jicama Peanut Salad Recipes

SWEET AND CRUNCHY JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, honey and salt. Add the jicama, carrots, apple and sesame seeds. Toss well to coat everything in the dressing. Let the salad sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to combine and the vegetables to soften slightly.

JíCAMA, CARROT, AND PEANUT SALAD

Steps:

• In a small heavy skillet dry-roast red pepper flakes over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer pepper flakes to a bowl and toss together with remaining ingredients and salt to taste.

JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• Peel 1 jicama (1 1/4 pounds) and cut into thin matchsticks. Cut 4 radishes into matchsticks. Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 teaspoons agave syrup, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add the jicama, radishes, 1 sliced scallion and 2 tablespoons each chopped cilantro and mint; toss. Season with salt.

JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut jicama, beets, and carrots into a fine julienne. Toss in a large bowl.
• Cut off ends of oranges; using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes, following the curve of the fruit. Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between sections to remove whole segments; add segments to vegetables. Squeeze juice from membranes into a bowl; measure out 1/2 cup juice; reserve remaining juice for another use.
• In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, and oil. Pour over vegetable mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with nuts; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

MANGO, JICAMA AND RADISH SALAD WITH PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter and lime juice until smooth. Add the brown sugar, vegetable oil and some salt and whisk until combined. Add enough water to thin the sauce and give it a dressing-like consistency, about 2 to 3 tablespoons.
• Place the radishes, greens, mangoes, jicama and cilantro in a large bowl and toss together.
• Drizzle with the dressing, toss using tongs to coat and serve.

JICAMA PEANUT SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and julienne the jicama (don't grate it or it will be a soggy mess).
• Put the peanuts in a zip bag and smash them with a can or mallet a couple of times.
• Boil sugar and vinegar until sugar dissolves and let cool a bit and add crushed red pepper flakes.
• Chop cilantro.
• Mix jicama, 1 - 1 1/2 bunch cilantro and red peppers and toss with sugar/vinegar mixture.
• Take remaining cilantro and sprinkle over salad, top with peanuts.
