Orange-Jicama Salad
Jicama makes this salad crunchy and really filling! This recipe infuses extra flavor into it by soaking the matchstick size pieces in a lime and red wine vinegar dressing with oranges. It’s worth the extra effort to toast the pine nuts in a hot dry pan until they become fragrant and start to turn golden brown.
