Sunny Day Jicama-Orange Salad

"Posted for ZWT5 from care2.com site. Interesting that it has allspice in it. Notice that you chill the dressing but not necessarily the assembled salad. And it might not taste quite the same without silty, white glowing sand stuck between your toes and the near promise of a turquoise swim, but you can always imagine."

  1. We LOVED this! The PICKY ONE is away this week & claims to not like jicama so the timing is perfect. ;) My 14 yr old happily ate her portion. This has everything...sweet, crunchy, spicy, tart...yummm. I used lime juice & white vinegar. I almost used coconut vinegar & next time I will. <br/>I used 1/2 large jalapeno since I had it. I only used 2 oranges & 1/2 a small jicama - if I'd added more, it would have been to jicama-ey. I subbed a shallot for the onion. Thank you for sharing! Made for Culinary Quest 2014/Cruisin' Culinary Queens. :)
     
  2. This was simply fantastic! I loved the fresh dressing - all the flavour elements were so good in this. Served with bbq'd beef with chimichurri and we couldn't eat enough!
     
  3. This was one wonderful salad! Bright fresh flavors, with a dash of bold thrown in for good measure -- A great combination of sweet, savory and crunchy. I made it exactly as written (except for substituting jalapeno peppers) and plan to make it again ... soon! I can see this as a great one dish lunch. Thank you for posting WiGal. It's a keeper!
     
  4. OUTSTANDING SALAD, but then both of us here really like the combo of jicama & oranges! Call me chicken (I don't care), but I absolutely had to reduce the HOT-HOT, so used poblano chilies instead of the serranos! And, I'm keeping the recipe around ~ Thanks for posting it!

  5. Lovely! The addition of sour orange juice (i used the lime and vinegar) made this delish. Nice blend of flavor. Made for holiday tag.
