Quantcast
Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients:
1 1/2 c  Peeled, diced jicama
3/4 c  Seasoned rice vinegar
1 1/2 lb Unshelled peas; or 1 pkg.
10 oz. frozen tiny peas,
Thawed
1/4 c  Finely chopped fresh mint
8 to 16 large butter lettuce
Leaves, rinsed and crisped
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.
( Dont 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.
