This popular salad is from the Rose Cafe, located near the beach in Venice California. I like to serve this with Mexican dishes such as chili, it provides a cool contrast to spicy food. Ingredients:
1 jicama, peeled and cut into french-fry size strips (about 2 pounds) |
2 red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into strips |
2 green bell peppers, cut lengthwise into strips |
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and cut into narrow strips (optional) |
1 large red onion, quartered lenthwise |
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves |
italian dressing, your favorite |
Directions:
1. Use only one quarter of the red onion; and cut it into strips lengthwise (save the rest for another use). 2. In a large bowl, mix the jicama strips, bell pepper strips, jalapeno strips (if using) and onion strips togethe; add the Italian dressing, to taste and mix; this can be done a few hours ahead. 3. Top with the fresh cilanto leaves just before serving. |
