Jicama Salad
- 1 pound jicama (about 1 large), peeled
- 2 large beets, trimmed and peeled
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 3-inch lengths
- 2 large navel oranges
- 3 to 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 to 3 limes)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
- Using a mandolin or very sharp knife, julienne the jicama, beets, and carrots and combine in a large bowl.
- Slice off the ends of the oranges.
- Using a paring knife, remove the peel and pith from the oranges, following the curve of the fruit.
- Slice on either side of the membranes to remove the segments.
- Transfer the orange segments to the jicama mixture.
- Squeeze enough juice from the membranes into a bowl, to make 1/4 cup.
- Whisk the lime juice into the orange juice.
- While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make smooth vinaigrette.
- Pour the vinaigrette over jicama mixture, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the jicama salad to a platter and sprinkle with the peanuts.
