Someone told me a local Mexican restaurant was serving this salad and that I should try it. She said it was really good. Just
shredded carrots and jicama --nothing else.
So I tried it.
I liked it!
The next time you're looking for a side dish to serve with a Mexican meal, shred some carrots with a peeled jicama.
Jicama can be found with other roots in the refrigerated produce section. It has a crispy crunch and taste of an apple with mild tones of celery and onion. It is considered a prebiotic, which feeds the probiotics in your gut. Other prebiotics include raw garlic and onion.
Another salad I like to serve with Mexican food is simply
green lettuce and jicama (peeled and julienned). The dressing I use is equal parts
honey and
lime juice (or lemon) mixed with two parts
olive oil, with salt to taste.
