This recipe comes from my Mom. Jicama belongs to the legume or bean family (Fabaceae). It is a popular dietary staple in Latin America and widely grown in Mexico and Central America. Jicama looks similar to a turnip or a large radish, and it can be used as an alternative to the water chestnut. Raw jicama is often used as an accompaniment to raw vegetable platters. Ingredients:
1 lb jicama, peeled and grated |
1 large pomegranate, cut into quarters and seeds removed |
2 tablespoons fresh mint, leafs finely shredded |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
Directions:
1. In a serving bowl, add grated, peeled Jicama, mint leafs, and lime juice; mix well;.
2. Add pomegranate seedsand toss to incorporate.
3. Serve chilled.
