Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 lb. yuca (cassava)
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup KRAFT Real Mayo
1 cup finely chopped red peppers (about 1 medium)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 clove garlic, minced
6 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, crumbled

Steps:

Cut off both ends of yuca. Peel the thick brown skin; peel again to reach clear white skin. Cut yuca lengthwise in half; remove fibrous cord in center. Cut into 1-inch cubes. (You should have about 6 cups cubes.)
Place in large saucepan; add enough water to cover yuca completely. Add vinegar and salt; stir. Bring to boil on medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 25 to 30 min. or until yuca is tender. Drain. Cool completely.
Mix mayo, peppers, onions, garlic and bacon in large bowl. Add yuca; mix lightly. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
