This is a great summer dish. It’s light and refreshing with only 208 calories per serving. I also like to try new things and this recipe incorporates the “jicama” It’s a sweet flavoured vegetable that has a crunchy texture. Choose smaller a jicama, since larger ones can be dry.
2 cups mesclun
2 ruby-red grapefruits
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and cooked
2 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
1 small jicama, peeled and cut into strips
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch cayenne
1. Line a platter with mesclun. Peel and thinly slice the grapefruits over a bowl to catch the juice; arrange the grapefruits, shrimp, kiwi fruit, and jicama over the mesclun.
2. Whisk the oil, mint, lime juice, honey, salt and cayenne into the grapefruit juice. Drizzle over the salad.
