Orange & Jicama Salad
Citrus is synonymous with winter in California. Over the years Chef Ann has come to love the plethora of citrus available in northern California, from Meyer’s lemons to heirloom limes and grapefruit – the flavors often astound. This recipe pairs the shining flavors of fresh citrus with the crunch and sweetness of jicama and the bite of jalapeno and cilantro. It makes a lovely side dish for sandwiches and burritos and satisfies the urge many of us have for something crunchy with a sandwich.
