Jicama Cucumber Salad...

Guys, guys!!  I made this up today with stuff on hand and it worked!  It was good!  I love it when this happens though I hardly ever duplicate the new dish.  I'm recording it here in the hopes that I will make it again!

Jicama Cucumber Salad

a recipe from the Horjus Kitchen

salad:

cucumber slices cut in quarters

jicama peeled and cut in cubes similar in size to the cucumber

dressing:

juice of one lime

dash of cayenne

dash of cinnamon

1 part cumin

2 parts salt

2 parts pepper

topping:

toasted pepitas

Mix the dressing, pour over the salad and let sit while preparing the rest of dinner.  Top with pepitas when serving.

Notes:

I toasted raw pepitas in a pan over low heat.

I don't have exact measures...salt and pepper was maybe 1/2 teaspoon?

We ate this with corn tortillas filled with melted vegan pepperjack and chorizo seitan.

Our beverage tonight was a mix of: the juice of one lime, a strawberry muddled with sugar and salt and orange juice (16 oz. total) shaken with ice.
