1 large jicama (about 1 pound), peeled
4 tablespoons sunflower or olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1/2 teaspoon granular sugar substitute (optional)
Salt
1. 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.
This two ingredient salad couldn't be easier or more refreshing.
When grating the orange peel, be sure to avoid the white part
(pith), which is bitter. Jicama is a tropical tuber. Its texture is
similar to water chestnuts and it has a slightly sweet, nutty
flavor.
