Given my recent posts, I think it's clear that I have a thing for peanuts :)This salad is refreshing and unique. Minus the peanuts it's all raw. Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 medium jicama
1 bunch of watercress
1 avocado
Dressing:
1 lime if using a juicer, if hand squeezing use 2 limes
1 T peanut oil
2 T agave syrup
1 jalapeno
Topping:
1 cup roasted spanish peanuts
If the peanuts are raw, roast them in the oven at 300˚. Remove from the oven when the peanuts start to lightly brown.
Coarsely chop jicama, watercress and avocado and place in serving bowl. Finely dice the jalapeno. In a separate bowl, mix the dressing ingredients together and pour over the vegetables in the bowl. Slowly stir to coat each vegetable lightly with the dressing.
Place the salad onto individual plates and top with roasted peanuts.
