Jicama Citrus Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and segment the oranges with a paring knife (see page 52). Squeeze the empty membranes over a large bowl to release the juices.
• Whisk the chili powder, salt and pepper to taste, the olive oil and lime juice into the orange juice. Toss in the orange segments and jicama. Before serving, add the scallions, cilantro and pomegranate seeds.

Steps:

• Working over a large bowl, carefully carve out sections of grapefruit and orange from membranes using a paring knife, letting sections fall into bowl and reserving membranes. Transfer juices to a small non-reactive bowl; squeeze membranes into bowl. Discard membranes.
• Add lime juice, cilantro, red pepper flakes, and salt to the small bowl with the juices; stir to combine. Add jicama, apple, and cucumber to the large bowl with the fruit. Pour juice mixture over fruit mixture. Gently toss to coat. Let salad stand for 10 minutes before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut both ends off the oranges, and remove the peel and pith. Slice the peeled fruit crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds, and remove any seeds. Transfer slices to a large bowl, and combine with jicama and spinach. Toss with the vinaigrette, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In tightly covered container, shake oil, wine, honey and orange juice until well blended.
• On individual salad plates, arrange oranges, grapefruit and jicama (or mix in large bowl). Serve with dressing.

Steps:

• Toss together jicama, bell peppers, red onion, cucumber, orange, and cilantro in a large bowl.
• Pour lime juice over top.
• Sprinkle with cayenne and paprika. Add salt to taste.
• Let sit 1/2 hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the pomegranate juice, vinegar, agave nectar, mustard and lime zest. With the machine on, add the oil in a thin stream and blend until emulsified. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Using a sharp knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the sections. Add the jicama, watercress and pomegranate seeds to the bowl. Add the dressing, toss gently and serve right away.

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.
