Directions:1.For the vinaigrette, squeeze limes into a large bowl-for the most juice, twist a fork into the pulp. Then whisk in honey, salt, and pepper. 2.You have to remove the thick, fibrous peel from jicama before eating it. Cut jicama in half, then pull the peel off with a paring knife. 3.Now, thinly slice the jicama into rounds about 1/4" thick. Then julienne by stacking rounds on top of each other and slicing into sticks. 4.Peel the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon. Then remove the seeds (except for watermelon) and cut into bite-sized chunks. 5.Toss jicama and melons in vinaigrette; let sit 10 minutes. Before serving, pour off some vinaigrette into another bowl; toss with lettuce. 6.Divide lettuce among four plates. Arrange melon salad on top, then sprinkle with small whole mint leaves. Black pepper makes a unique garnish. |
