Israeli Salad with Jicama
By: Hey Jude
Jul 7, 2003
I found this easy, tasty recipe in a Chicago Sun-Times article on Passover recipes. You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this one! This salad goes very well with grilled chicken or served on lettuce leaves for a light lunch.
SERVES 8
Ingredients
- 1 long English cucumber
- 8-10 plum tomatoes or 4 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into a small dice
- 1/2 cup chopped onion, either red,white or yellow (red looks nice in this)
- 2 cups diced peeled jicama
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 2-4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1
Peel cucumber, if desired, and cut into a small dice.2
Mix cucumber with tomatoes, onion, jicama and parsley.3
Add oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.4
Serve cold or at room temperature.5
*note,cut the vegetables no larger than 1/2 inch dice.6
If you're making the salad more than a few hours ahead, don't add the salt until ready to serve or it will make the vegetables watery.

I made this and served it the other night during Passover - the adults gave it a five star and the kids gave it a three (which is actually high for kids to give ANY salad). I added extra lemon juice, a little salt and I served the chopped red onion and parsley on the side (so the kids would eat it). Very fresh and crunchy!
