This recipe can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1 large jícama (about 1 1/4 pounds) |
1 cup packed dried pitted dates (about 1/2 pound) |
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
2 tablespoons minced scallion |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves |
garnish: small fresh mint leaves |
Directions:
1. Peel jícama and cut enough into 1/4-inch dice to measure 1/2 cup. In a food processor pulse dates to a paste and transfer to a bowl. Stir diced jícama, lime juice, scallion, and mint into dates and season with salt. Date mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
2. Cut remaining jícama into 1/4-inch-thick slices and cut each slice into as many 1 1/2-inch triangles as possible. Jícama triangles may be made 1 day ahead, wrapped in damp paper towels, and chilled in a sealable plastic bag.
3. Top jícama triangles with some date mixture and garnish with small mint leaves.
