Ginger Jicama Salad with Quinoa cake

I love creating salads in the summertime, especially salads that have the ability to refresh you and cool you down.

Jicama is a Sonoran Desert root that is fiber and water. It absorbs the flavors of almost anything else. It also adds a great crunch to otherwise squishy ingredients like papaya.

I went to the Market the other day, and they had just brought in fresh Hawaiian Papayas. I knew I had to bite. I thought I was just going to eat one by itself, but no…no treat for me. I was having a culinary experience in the kitchen, and in that exact creative moment, this salad was born.

Ginger Lime Jicama Salad with Papaya & Apple

Ingredients

  • 1 medium jicama (or 1/2 of 1 large), julienne
  • 1 Granny smith apple, julienne
  • 1 hawaiian papaya, julienne
  • 1 to 11/2 tsp of fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tsp of your favorite chili powder (can be hot or mild, you decide)
  • Juice of several fresh limes. If you can't find fresh, find the lime juice in the refrigerator section that says fresh (not from concentrate).
  • 3 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • Cilantro for garnish

Process

Julienne all the ingredients, except for ginger. You can use a Japanese mandolin, also called a Benriner. Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl, and mix thoroughly. Garnish with fresh cilantro. Chill for several hours before serving.

Notes

Take this salad to your favorite BBQ gathering, they'll beg you for more.
