Jicama-pea salad
8 Servings
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
1½ | cup | Peeled, diced jicama |
¾ | cup | Seasoned rice vinegar |
1½ | pounds | Unshelled peas; or 1 pkg. |
\N | \N | 10 oz. frozen tiny peas, |
\N | \N | Thawed |
¼ | cup | Finely chopped fresh mint |
\N | \N | 8 to 16 large butter lettuce |
\N | \N | Leaves, rinsed and crisped |
\N | \N | Mint sprigs |
In a bowl, combine jicama and vinegar; let stand for at least 15 minutes or up to 5 hours. If using fresh peas, shell them; you need 2 cups. In a 2- to 3-quart pan, cook shelled peas in about 1 inch of boiling water; uncovered, stirring occasionally, just until peas are bright green and heated through (2 to 3 minutes). Drain, immerse in cold water until cool, and drain again. ( Don't cook frozen peas.) Mix peas and chopped mint into jicama mixture. To serve, use a slotted spoon to ladle salad equally onto 8 lettuce-lined plates.
Garnish with mint sprigs. Spoon any extra dressing over salads, if desired.
