Best Jicama Slices With Avocado And Crab Salad Recipes

JICAMA AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Segment the oranges and cut each segment in half. Squeeze the juice from the oranges' membranes into a bowl. Whisk in the lime juice, coriander, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and olive oil.
• Gently toss the jicama, red onion and oranges with the lime vinaigrette and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with the avocado, cilantro and a sprinkle of salt.

AVOCADO AND JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• Peel jicama by cutting a thin slice off the top and bottom and paring sides with a small knife. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into thin strips. Set aside.
• Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Insert the blade of a heavy knife in pit, twist to remove, and discard. Peel avocado halves. Squeeze lemon juice over avocados to prevent browning; set aside.
• Whisk together vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Make a bed of jicama on four plates, and top each with an avocado half. Season lightly with salt and pepper, sprinkle with onion, and pour dressing into avocado cavities. The salad will "dress" itself when you cut into avocados.

CRAB SALAD WITH JICAMA, AVOCADO AND EDAMAME

Steps:

• In a small saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the edamame until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Drain and cool under running water, then pat dry.
• Transfer the edamame to a bowl and add the crab, jicama, avocado, scallions, olive oil and lime juice.
• Season with salt and pepper, toss gently and serve.

CRAB AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
• Puree the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, basil and anchovies in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the crabmeat, half of the avocado and about 1 tablespoon of the yogurt dressing in a small bowl. Toss the romaine, croutons, haricots verts and the remaining avocado with the remaining dressing in a large bowl.
• Divide the romaine salad among plates, top with the tomatoes and place some of the crab mixture in the center.

CRAB AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH JAPANESE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a bowl that will take the crabmeat later, whisk together the mirin, wasabi, rice vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Then remove around 4 teaspoons to another big bowl that will fit your salad in later.
• To the first, more generous amount of dressing, add the finely chopped chile and then the crabmeat, and fork through to mix thoroughly.
• To the small amount of dressing in the other bowl, add the lime juice and then the salad leaves and toss well to mix before arranging on 4 plates.
• Spoon a quarter of the mixture into a regular metal kitchen third-cup measure, squishing down to get it all in, then take it over to a salad-lined plate and unmold in the center of it. Just turn over, tap and the crabmeat should fall out. Continue with the remaining 3/4 of the crabmeat and the 3 other plates.
• Using a rounded half spoon measure, scoop out curls or humps of avocado and dot around on top of the salady bits. Spritz with a little lime juice.
• Sprinkle the chopped chives over the 4 mounds of crab and take the plates to the table.
