Recipe Reviews

This salad offers a very refreshing combination of flavours and a nice variety of textures.

I omitted the optional pickled onions as not everyone is a fan and used just a pinch of ancho chili powder. I made the full recipe for 7 people and was a little concerned when I saw the huge mound it produced but it was so good, we had no problem finishing it off.

Excellent as a starter or a side salad…..I’d be happy to eat it for dessert!

Light, fresh, and crunchy. I served this appetizer as a salad. It contains jicama, cucumbers, oranges, radishes (skipped those), marinated in lime juice for about 20 minutes. It is then topped by pickled onions (optional, I used them, easily made), cilantro, and ground up dried chiles. The recipe suggests guajillo peppers, and I found lovely ones in the market. I ground them up in an old coffee grinder. The pepper gave the dish a beautiful deep red color, but my peppers were so mild that they hardly added any flavor.

This was enjoyed by the whole family.
