My Mother-in-Law created this recipe after enjoying something like it at a restaurant. It's crunchy, light and rather unexpected.
Orange Jicama Salad
3 cups jicama, cut into thin sticks
1 can mandarin oranges, drained (reserve 1/4 c juice)
1/2 c snipped parsley
1/2 c sugar
1/4 c juice reserved from mandarin oranges
1/4 c vinegar (I like rice vinegar best)
1/4 c oil (or a little less if using olive oil)
1/2 t salt
Combine jicama, oranges and parsley. Mix together remaining ingredients. Toss to coat. Serve chilled.
