Directions: |
Directions:Whisk honey, salt, and pepper into a bowl of the fresh squeezed lime juice. (To get the the most juice from your limes, twist a fork into the pulp.) You have to remove the thick, fibrous peel from jicama before eating it. Cut jicama in half, then pull the peel off with a paring knife. Now, thinly slice the jicama into rounds about 1/4" thick. Then julienne by stacking rounds on top of each other and slicing into sticks. Peel melons. Then remove the seeds (except for watermelon) and cut into bite-sized chunks.
Toss jicama and melons in vinaigrette; let sit 10 minutes. Before serving, pour off some vinaigrette into another bowl.
Toss with lettuce. Divide lettuce among four plates. Arrange melon salad on top, then sprinkle with small whole mint leaves.
Garnish with black pepper. |
