This stuff is really yummy. We always make a double batch so there's some
"planned-overs" for the next day.

Citrus Pickled Vegetables (Verduras en Escabeche)

This is an excellent accompaniment to fish, chicken, or pork. Tangy, spicy,
eye-catching, and very diabetic-friendly.

-= Ingredients =-
1/2 cup Whole kernel corn ; - frozen is fine
1 cup Roma tomatoes ; - fine diced
1/4 cup bell pepper ; - fine diced (Red or green )
1/2 cup Jicama ; - fine diced
1/2 cup Zucchini ; - unpeeled, diced
2 tablespoons Onion ; - Diced (red or yellow)
1 medium jalapeno pepper ; - Fine diced
1/4 cup Lime juice ; - one large lime
1 teaspoon kosher salt ; - to taste
1 teaspoon Splenda ; - to taste
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper sauce ; - to taste
1/4 cup Cilantro ; - Chopped, fresh

-= Instructions =-
If using any frozen vegetables, thaw them under cool water until soft. Mix
all vegetables except cilantro together. Dissolve the salt and Splenda in
the lime juice. Pour over mixed vegetables and mix thoroughly. Allow to sit,
refrigerated, for at least one hour then taste for flavor. Add hot sauce,
extra lime juice, or salt as needed. Allow to marinate another 30 minutes or
more. Add cilantro just before serving.

Serve with steamed fish, chicken breast, or other protein. It also works as
an appetizer when served in a lettuce cup or in the hollow of 1/2 an
avocado.

There is certainly some flexibility in the choice of vegetables in this
dish. Green beans, green peas, or black-eyed peas will also work with this.
The key is to keep an array of bright, contrasting colors and crisp textures
in the dish.
