I've been craving a healthy salad so I decided to make a jicama and grapefruit salad, the other ingredients fell into place as I saw them at the grocery store.
Ingredients
- 1/4 Jicama, peeled and cut into 1 1/2 inch long match sticks
- 1 Fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced
- 2 Radishes, thinly sliced
- Arugula
- Red Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Grapefruit, sections removed and juice set aside (next time I would use 2)
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Fresh Parsley, minced
- 6 shrimp, peeled, deveined, detailed and cut into small pieces
- Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
I marinated the raw shrimp in combination of grapefruit juice, red wine vinegar and S&P. I was attempting to "ceviche" the shrimp, but it took much longer then I thought it would (15 mins!). Once it was pink, I pulled the shrimp out and I combined with the jicama, fennel, radishes, arugula, red onion, grapefruit sections, parsley and S&P. Then I added the grapefrui juice and vinegar mixture until salad was coated.
This was delicious, healthy and something I would definitely make for guests because you don't think you'll like it (adversion to fruit in salad) but it's really quite tasty!
That salad looks like it would be perfect with a cold, crisp glass of white wine!
