WATERMELON JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• Peel and cut watermelon into bite-sized chunks. Peel the jicama root and slice into oversized matchsticks. In a large bowl, toss together the melon and jicama with the cilantro, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

JíCAMA-MELON SALAD

Steps:

• In a nonreactive bowl, combine jícama and fruit. Toss with lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Refrigerate about 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Toss with chili powder before serving.

MELON AND JICAMA "SUSHI"

Steps:

• Put melons on a plate to collect juice, cut melons in 1/2 lengthwise.
• Clean and cut off rind of melons.
• While the melon is still on the plate, cut thin slices lengthwise so the slices are long. (For a thinner slice, use a potato peeler).
• Leave the melon on the plate until ready to assemble your "sushi".
• On a cutting board, cut thin, long julienne sticks of jicama. Cut the sticks 1/2" to 1" longer than the widest of your melon strips.
• Pour the melon juice into a small bowl and mix in the honey and ginger.
• Lie strips on cutting board, one at a time.
• Place 3-4 sticks of jicama on melon flush with one side of the melon - -this will allow a flat side when the rolled "sushi" sits up.
• Roll the melon slice around the jicama and sit up on its side. Trim any jicama that might hang over so it sits flat.
• Drizzle the honey sauce over the "sushi".
• Sprinkle sesame seeds lightly over the fruit.
• You may toast the seeds if you wish a nuttier flavor.
