Spiced Jicama, Cucumber and Mango Skewers
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 small jicama, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 hot house (or English) cucumber, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 large mangos, peeled and cheeks cut from the pit*
- 3 teaspoons chile powder
- 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 2 limes, each cut into 8 wedges
Instructions
- Using a small, round cookie cutter (mine was fluted, but any round cutter will do), cut circles from the jicama, cucumber and mangos. Thread the circles on bambo skewers or toothpicks starting with the jicama, then cucumber and finishing with the mango. Arrange skewers on a platter.
- Combine chile powder and sea salt in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Lightly sprinkle skewers with the chile-salt mixture. Place lime wedges around the platter. Serve remaining chile-salt mixture on the side.
Notes
* Mangos have a long flat pit that runs down the middle of the fruit. The flesh on either of the pit is known as the cheek (2 cheeks per mango).
