Directions
Ensalada Xek (Jicama and Mandarin Orange Salad), Refreshing salad served during a visit to Merida, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico Ingredients are sold in the Central Market in Merida in little bags that you take home and toss together Xek in Maya means something like hodge-podge , What a GREAT find! The mix of orange, jicama, and especially cucumber in this salad was very nice Only change was to use 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper in place of the diced peppers This was perfect as I can’t handle too much heat, but like a little bit This salad has the same lightness and crunch as a coleslaw, only its more novel so it would be great for sharing with guests It would be great alongside any number of Mexican dishes Thanks, Celticevergreen
