1-2 tbsp maple syrup
1-2 tbsp cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
good pinch salt
good pinch cayenne pepper
1 jicama, peeled and chopped into matchsticks
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped into matchsticks
3 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp chopped coriander
Put the first six ingredients into a bowl and mix. Prepare the vegetables and coriander and then add them to the dressing and toss. Best chilled for an hour or so.
Jicama has a wonderful crunchy, juicy, slightly sweet texture. Goes well with the lime and maple. It's not really like anything else but reminds me a little of kohlrabi, in that it is a white inside part that is crispy-crunchy and fresh and subtly tasty. Don't really know what else to do with it, other than make salads or eat it in thin, raw slices.
