Jicama-Orange Salad

  • Since the only 'Orange' in this is rind, it's appropriate for all phases

    1 large jicama (about 1 pound), peeled
    4 tablespoons sunflower or olive oil
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    2 teaspoons grated orange rind
    1/4 packet sugar substitute
    Salt

    Shred jicama using the large holes of a four sided standing grater. In a bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, orange rind, and sugar substitute. Add jicama and toss well to coat. Season to taste with salt.

  • star, what does jicama tast like. i know what it is, but i have never tasted it.
  • It kindof reminds me of a cross between a potato and an apple. It's white, crunchy, and a little sweet.
  • Jicama is also really good cut up into bite size pieces with lemon juice and salt sprinkled on top.
