A fellow WW member brought this recipe to our meeting yesterday- she had a copy for everyone. How sweet was that? The total time, start to finish, is 20 minutes AND it’s only 2 smartpoints! I thought I would pay it forward and share it here- the flavors make my mouth water.
3 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 teaspoon minced orange zest
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 ounces jicama, cut into 1 1/2 inch-long matchsticks (about 2 cups)
1 large mango (about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 heads Bibb lettuce, washed and drained
In a small bowl, whisk together juice, zest, sugar, salt, and vinegar. Continue whisking and add oil in a slow stream. Set aside.
Place the jicama in a medium bowl. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the skin of the mango. Carefully cut the flesh of the mango away from the large, oval pit. Cut the mango into short, thin strips, and add to the jicama.
Add the dressing and cilantro and toss.
Arrange the lettuce on a platter. Top with the salad. Garnish with orange wedges, if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
*i used thawed out frozen mango chunks by the time I sliced and stirred it was a little soft and mushy still tasty 😜
*one fellow member suggested also adding mint- yummy.
*another member suggested adding grilled chicken to up the protein and make it a full meal.
*when typing this out, I accidentally first typed the word “whiskying”… instead of “whisking”…. perhaps it was a Freudian slip… maybe a shot of whisky while making this salad just adds to the whole overall experience of having a yummy dish… (heehee)
