The Produce Corner Recipes
Serves 8.
A delectable, crunchy salad featuring sweet, nut-like Jicama
(Hick-ah-Muh), ripe avocado and sweet red and yellow bell peppers tossed
with a delicious dressing.

1 Jicama, peeled then julienned
1 yellow pepper, cut into match sticks
1 red pepper, cut into match sticks
2 ripe avocados, cut into 1/2 slices
1 lemon (squeeze the juice over the avocado)
Leaves of budding lettuce, such as Romaine, Leaf, Mesclun or Watercress

Dressing

3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp fresh cilantro
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp. freshly ground ginger
1/4 tsp. grated orange peel

In a mixing bowl combine all dressing ingredients.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine Jicama and sweet peppers with 3
tablespoons of dressing, toss and refrigerate along with the bowl of
mixed dressing ingredients. Chill up to 4 hours.
When ready to serve, have bedding lettuce on a salad plate, put
julienned Jicama and sweet bell pepper on the lettuce and top with the
chunks of avocado. Drizzle remaining dressing over salad.
Exceptionally crunchy and delicious.
