Spicy Jicama, Cucumber and Fruit Skewers
- 1 small (about 3/4 pound) jicama, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch slices
- 1 English (long, thin-skin, hot-house) cucumber, cut into 3/4-inch slices
- 1/2 small pineapple, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch slices
- 2 large (about 2 pounds total) mangos, peeled, flesh cut from the pit in large slices
- 8 bamboo skewers
- 1 lime, cut into 8 wedges
- 2 tablespoons powdered guajillo chile
- 2 teaspoons fine-ground table salt
- Using a 1 1/2 inch round cutter, cut circles out of the jicama, cucumber, pineapple and mango slices.
- Thread the circles on the skewers and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Surround the skewers with lime wedges.
- In a small shaker (a salt shaker works fine here), thoroughly mix together the powdered chile and salt.
- Secure the top and lightly sprinkle the skewers.
- Serve the remaining chile-salt mixture on the side, for guests to add al gusto.
