This is another recipe that was emailed to me last night. Tequila, tangerine juice, lime, and honey make a delicious dressing for a salad of greens, citrus, jicama, and radishes. The dressing may be made a day in advance.
Ingredients
- Dressing: shopping list
- 1/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice shopping list
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons tequila, preferably gold shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice shopping list
- 2 teaspoons honey shopping list
- 1 garlic clove shopping list
- salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste shopping list
- Salad: shopping list
- 3 large bunches watercress, tough stems removed shopping list
- 2 tangerines or 1 small orange, sectioned, membranes removed, and sections halved shopping list
- 3/4 cup diced jicama (See note below) shopping list
- 1/2 cup thin-sliced mild red radishes shopping list
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions shopping list
How to make it
- To make the dressing, combine the tangerine juice, vegetable oil, tequila, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth. (The dressing can be made a day ahead, but shake well before using.)
- In a serving bowl, toss the watercress with enough dressing to coat well. Toss with tangerines, jicama, radishes, and green onions. Serve immediately with additional dressing on the side.
- NOTE: What is Jicama? Jicama is a crispy, sweet, edible root that resembles a turnip in physical appearance, although the plants are not related. Jicama has been cultivated in South America for centuries, and the vegetable is quite popular in Mexican cuisine. Jicama has a unique flavor that lends itself well to salads, salsas, and vegetable platters.
