2. How to Make Deliciously Crunchy Jicama Salad

Jicama salad is always a festive favorite during Tet, offering a refreshing crunch of jicama, balanced with sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. The addition of roasted peanuts adds a delightful texture to this enticing dish.

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

• Peel and clean the jicama, then use a sharp knife to cut it into thin slices, stacking them into small, neat piles. Because jicama is crunchy, slicing instead of grating prevents breakage. 
  
• Grate or julienne the carrot according to your preference.
  
• Roast and peel the peanuts, removing the thin outer layer.
  
• Clean and dry herbs like cilantro and mint.
  
• Rinse the chili, remove the seeds, and slice it thinly

Step 2: Marinate Jicama and Carrot

• Marinate the jicama and carrot juliennes with 1 teaspoon of fine salt for 10 minutes to release excess water. Rinse thoroughly to remove the saltiness, gently squeeze out excess water with a cloth, preventing jicama and carrot fibers from breaking.
  
• Using a thin cloth, wrap the carrot and jicama in it, squeeze to remove excess water, avoiding breakage of the fibers.
  
• The salt marination not only helps release excess water but also reduces any residual bitterness, keeping the salad crispy and delicious even when stored for a longer time.
  

Step 3: Prepare the Dressing for Jicama Salad

To make the salad delicious, the crucial step is preparing the dipping sauce. Mix 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well until the mixture completely dissolves and then add minced garlic and chili.

Step 4: Mix jicama and carrots for the salad

Place the jicama and drained carrots in a bowl, pour the previously prepared sauce over them. Mix thoroughly to ensure the salad absorbs the flavors. Add ½ cup of roasted peanuts, ½ bunch of cilantro, and ½ bunch of mint, all finely chopped. Continue mixing and let it sit for about 10 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve the salad on a plate, garnish with additional peanuts, cilantro, and whole mint leaves on top, and enjoy.
