Jicama – a root vegetable that tastes like a cross between turnip and pear – is a new favourite in our kitchen. Make it one in yours too, starting with this fresh summer salad!
3 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tbsp canola oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups cooked corn kernels
1 medium jicama, peeled and diced, about 3 cups
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup shredded fresh basil, or mint
WHISK vinegar with oil, Dijon and salt in a medium bowl. Season with fresh pepper. Add corn, jicama, pepper and basil. Toss until well coated. It will keep well refrigerated up to a day.
