Jicama Carrot And Pineapple Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the juice of 2 limes, 2 tablespoons each olive oil and finely chopped cilantro and shallot, 1 teaspoon each hot sauce and honey, and 1/4 teaspoon each ground cumin and kosher salt in a large bowl. Toss with 1 bunch chopped watercress, 2 cups cubed pineapple, 1 small jicama (peeled and cut into matchsticks) and 1 thinly sliced red jalapeno; season with salt.

Steps:

• Whisk together the serrano pepper, lime juice, rice vinegar, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continually whisking. Add the pineapple and jicama; toss to coat. Allow to sit 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Place the spring mix in a large salad bowl; scatter the avocado over the lettuce; top with the marinated pineapple and jicama, drizzling the remaining vinaigrette over the salad. Serve NOW!

Steps:

• Soak raisins in hot water for 30 minutes. Drain and dry.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the raisins, pineapple and carrots.
• Mix together the yogurt, sugar and salt. Add to carrot mixture; mix well, cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Whisk together pineapple juice, lime juice, and oil. Add salt, pepper, and coriander.
• Slice off rough outer skin from jicama and peel carrots. Using a sharp knife, cut jicama and carrots into matchsticks, about 3 inches long, and 1/8 inch thick, or shred vegetables in a food processor. Combine jicama and carrots in a large bowl and add dressing. Toss well and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the jicama, carrots, pineapple, and jalapeño. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, oil, and salt. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least an hour. Serve cold. NOTE: To prevent too much juice from accumulating in the salad, add the pineapple just before serving. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
