Jicama is a Mexican root vegetable, and its taste and consistency is a combination of a water chestnut, an apple, and a potato. In fact, some cooks substitute jicama for water chestnuts in Asian recipes. It can be combined with any number of fruits and vegetables because it blends so well with so many flavors.

Ingredients


  • 1 head Romaine lettuce, cleaned and dried

  • 1/2 pound jicama, peeled and sliced paper thin

  • 6 seedless oranges, peeled and sectioned

  • 2 red onions, sliced

  • 2 teaspoons ground New Mexican red chile powder

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 6 tablespoons fresh lime juice

  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • 3 tablespoons orange marmalade

  • Freshly ground black pepper



Instructions


Line a shallow bowl with the Romaine leaves. Alternate overlapping circles of jicama, oranges, and onion rings on the leaves.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a small glass jar and shake well. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
