MEXICAN JICAMA SALAD
I couldn't say if this is authentic Mexican or not, but it's tasty, crisp and fresh. Basic idea came from a web site I was on about mexican cooking. Pull out your mandolin slicer or food processor to make quick work of the chopping.

Steps:
- Julienne the jicama, beets, and carrots. Mix together in a large bowl.
- Drain the mandarin oranges, reserving liquid. Add the orange segments to the jicama mixture.
- Remove the zest of 1 lime and set aside. Juice the limes, which should yield about 3 tablespoons Whisk up the lime juice and the zest with 1/4 cup of the mandarin orange liquid. While whisking, drizzle in the oil to make smooth vinaigrette. You could get away with a little less oil here if that's a concern. Check the flavour of the vinaigrette; if it's too sour for your tastes, add a little honey or agave nectar to take the lime edge off.
- Pour the vinaigrette over jicama mixture. Add in the cilantro and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the salad to a platter or serving bowl and sprinkle with the peanuts.
