Ensalada Xek  (Jicama And Mandarin Orange Salad)


1. Peel jicama. The skin of this root vegetable will peel right off after you insert a knife between the skin and the flesh. Remove any traces of brown or remaining skin with a vegetable peeler. To keep the vegetable from discoloring as you work, rub liberally with lime juice. Cut jicama into julienne strips.

2. Toss in a large bowl with the orange juice.

3. Peel cucumber, seed and dice.

4. Meanwhile, peel oranges and separate into sections, removing any seeds.

5. Toss oranges and cucumber with jícama. Add chile and cilantro.

6. Toss and check for seasonings. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
