Jicama Salad with Mint and Oranges

Jun 27th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Herbs, Peppermint, Recipes, Salads

Jicama is a type of root vegetable. If you can’t find it, ask your grocer to stock it. I was introduced to it recently and it’s really tasty.

1 navel orange
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint or 1 tablespoon dried
2 cups julienned peeled jicama
1 small head Boston or Bibb lettuce, torn into pieces, or 4 cups baby spinach
1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)

Peel orange, divide in half, and cut in 1 /4-inch-thick slices. In a medium bowl, mix orange, mint, and jicama; marinate several hours in the refrigerator. Serve on a bed of lettuce, and garnish with a few slices of avocado, if desired. Makes 4 servings
