Jicama-Carrot Salad with Dried Cherries
Jicama-Carrot Salad with Dried Cherries
1 small jicama
small head of Boston lettuce (also called butter lettuce)
1/2 C. shredded carrots
2 scallions (white and green parts), chopped
1/3 C. dried cherries
1 tsp. Dijon mustard (country style)
2 T. lemon juice (one lemon)
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 T. honey
1/8 tsp. salt-free lemon and pepper seasoning
Put salad dressing ingredients in a small jar, shake until combined and set aside. Peel jicama. Cut into match-stick slices or slice with a food processor. Tear lettuce into small pieces and place in a large bowl. Add carrots, scallions, dried cherries, and salad dressing. Toss gently. Makes 4 servings. Note: Lemon juice wilts lettuce quickly so make this salad just before you are going to eat it.
