Sweet Chili Thai Cucumber and Jicama Salad

Nothing pleases me more than trying a new vegetable and LOVING it! I have been dicing, slicing, and spiraling Jicama in everything from salad to gumbo. Here is a fresh take on Thai cucumber salad. Remember to add a healthy protein like edamame, garbanzo, or lean chicken breast to make it complete.

Ingredients:

• 2 pickling cucumbers

• 1 carrot

• 1/3 jicama peeled

• 2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar

• 3 Tbsp sweet Thai chili sauce

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

• Parsley for garnish

Recipe:

1. Spiralize cucumbers and carrot

2. Julianne jicama into thin matchstick slices

3. Combine in a bowl: rice wine vinegar, sweet Thai chili sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds

4. Add vegetables to the bowl mixture and coat thoroughly

5. Chill for 1 hour

6. Serve garnished with flat leaf parsley

• *Add a lean protein of your choice
