Ingredients

4 ears fresh corn, unshucked
1 large jicama, peeled and thinly julienned
1 ripe mango, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Citrus vinaigrette, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Put the ears of corn on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove and let cool. When the corn has cooled, shuck it and stand it on end. Using a sharp knife, run the blade down the cob to cut the kernels off. Rotate the cob and repeat until all the kernels have been cut off.

Combine the jicama, mango, red onion and cilantro in a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled corn, and toss with the vinaigrette. Chill until ready to serve.

Citrus Vinaigrette:

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

2 teaspoons sugar

Dash hot sauce

1 cup olive oil

Salt pepper

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves

In a large bowl combine the lime juice, orange juice, orange zest, sugar and hot sauce. Whisk together and slowly add the olive oil, whisking as you go. Add salt and pepper, to taste, and cilantro and whisk until combined.

Yield: 1 1/4 cups

Needs more "umph"
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Great basic idea but I found it lacking in flavor. I added a minced jalapeno, a few dashes cayenne pepper, extra orange zest... as well as about 2 T. additional orange juice. I have to believe the 1 cup of olive oil called for is a typo, as I found 1/4 cup to be about right. Read more

Absolutely delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad is absolutely delicious! It is light, has a wonderful flavor and very satisfying. I did added extra orange zest... and used Splenda instead of sugar as well as added extra cilantro because that is one of my favorite herbs. It is a fantastic summer salad.Read more

can't find jicama
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one of my standard 'bring along' recipes - you know, the stuff you bring to parties or barbeques. It always gets... great reviews and is usually one of the first things to go. If you have a hard time finding jicama like I do then substitute with canned/sliced water chestnuts.Read more
