Chef Laura Braley at Arguello restaurant in San Francisco shared with me her recipe for this delicious and beautiful salad. I enjoyed it so much at a festive Christmas dinner there a few years ago soon after the restaurant opened. I’ve made some changes based on my own kitchen skills and taste. I plan to try it next time with an orange. This video on how to cut up a jicama is worth watching.
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
