Sometimes when you have super fresh ingredients, you don’t need to do much to it to make it taste incredible. This simple salad uses a light japanese-like dressing with no oil, so the whole thing is super fresh and also really good for you! I chose to use three kinds of sweet vegetables from my fridge, but you basically can add anything you want that you have on hand! I LOVE jicama, also known as a mexican turnip, it’s got an apple/pear texture that is crispy and slightly sweet. Eaten raw, it is super yum as a snack!
Here’s how I made it this salad this time around…
What you need!
1 medium jicama
1/2 large carrot
1 red pepper
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp dashi
What to do!
1. Prepare your veggies! Peel the outer brown skin of the jicama, cut it into 1/4 inch slices. Cut those slices into thin strips. Do the same for the rest of the veggies.
2. Mix the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl. Drizzling a little at a time, toss the salad with the dressing and taste periodically. Add as little or as much dressing as you like. Enjoy!
