Mango, Jicama and Radish Salad with Peanut Dressing

This is a more exotic sounding recipe, but still quite simple...

The sweetness of the mango married with the sweet crunch of the jicama and the sharpness of the radish is amazing! Then a peanut sauce to dress this salad... it just screams summertime and Island style.

Ingredients:

3 tbls smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 tbls brown sugar (light preferred)
2 tbls oil (olive oil preferred)
8 large radishes, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
6 cups mixed baby greens, washed and dried
1 large or 2 small mangoes, peeled, fruit cut off the seed and cubed
2 cups peeled and cubed jicama (cut into about 1/2-inch cubes)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Salt

Process:

1. Whisk lime juice with peanut butter until smooth

2. Add brown sugar, olive oil and salt - whisk until all ingredients are incorporated

3. Add water to sauce in small amounts until its pourable like a salad dressing (about 2-4 tablespoons of water)

4. Toss mango, radish and jicama in large bowl

5. Add dressing to salad and toss to coat.
