Mango Jicama Cucumber Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and cut the jicama into long thin strips. Slice the cucumbers in half, scoop out the seeds and then cut into strips similar in size to the jicama strips. Peel the mangoes, cut the cheeks off, then slice into wedges. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the chopped cilantro, powdered chile and lime juice. When ready to serve, season with a little salt and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.

Steps:

• For dressing, whisk together first 6 ingredients., Cut jicama, mango and red pepper into matchsticks; place in a large bowl. Toss with lime juice. Add herbs and dressing; toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.

Steps:

• Peel the mango, jicama, and cucumber. Cut them into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl.
• Combine the lime juice, zest, and honey in a blender. Run the blender at low speed and slowly drizzle in the canola oil until the dressing is slightly thickened, then add salt to taste.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the mango mixture and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, water, agave nectar, lime juice, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil. Cook until the liquid is clear and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. This should yield 1/4 cup of liquid. Refrigerate the dressing for 15 minutes.
• Quarter the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine the cucumber, jicama, mango, and the cooled vinegar mixture in a bowl and stir well, then stir in the chopped mint.

Steps:

• Cutting the mangoes: Peel the mangoes, then cut the flesh from the pits: A mango pit (to which the flesh clings tightly) is flattish and oval, more-or-less a smaller version of the mango's overall shape. To cut the flesh off the pit, stand a mango on one end and slice the flesh from one side of the pit. Turn the mango around and slice the flesh off the other side. You'll be able to get a couple thin slices of flesh off the pit on each end. Cut the large pieces into long 1/2-inch-wide "fingers."
• Salad: In pointed Sno-Cone cups (you'll need a snow-cone holder or a glass to support each cup) or in paper cups or glasses, combine a portion of mango, jicama and cucumber "fingers" or wedges (they will be standing in the cups). Mix the chile and 1/2 teaspoon salt; sprinkle over the "salads." Serve with lime wedges for each guest to squeeze over the pieces as they eat them.
• Variation: Cut the mango, jicama and cucumber into cubes instead of "fingers," and mix together in a large bowl. Juice the limes (rather than cutting them into wedges) and drizzle over the mixture. Sprinkle with the salt and chile, and serve on a buffet or pass this at the table.

Steps:

• In pointed sno-cone cups (a sno-cone holder or a glass will be necessary to support each cup) or in paper cups or glasses, combine a portion of mango, jicama, and cucumber "fingers" or wedges so that they are standing in cups. Mix chile with 1/2 teaspoon salt; sprinkle mixture over "salads." Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over pieces as they are eaten.
