I’ve had this salad dressing on cucumbers many a time and loved it. Tonight I decided to try it on jicama and it was WONDERFUL! Very refreshing salad for summer. The crispness and slightly sweet quality of the jicama is perfect with mint! This salad is suitable for all phases of Atkins, Keto diets and Primal-Paleo as well.
INGREDIENTS:
2 T. of my Mint Sauce
1 c. jicama, peeled, cut in strips about 1″ long (or grated if you prefer)
Sprinkle of salt to taste
Splash rice wine vinegar (optional)
DIRECTIONS: Mix up the Mint Sauce recipe linked above and set aside. Peel and cut up jicama and place in bowl large enough to toss easily. Add 2 T. of the mint sauce and toss. Taste to see if you want to add salt. If you prefer your salads tart, add a sprinkle of rice wine vinegar (available in most grocery stores in the Chinese Food section) to the jicama as you toss it. Plate and serve with tomato slices.
