JICAMA SLAW

Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 30 min

1 medium red onion, finely chopped (3/4 cup)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
21/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Splenda
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 lb jicama, peeled and cut into julienne strips (9 to 10 cups)
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Soak onion in 1 cup cold water with 1/2 teaspoon salt 15 minutes (to
make onion flavor milder). Drain in a sieve, then rinse under cold water
and pat dry.

Whisk together lime juice, oil, Splenda, pepper, and remaining 3/4
teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined well. Add onion, jicama,
cilantro, and salt to taste and toss well.

Cooks' note:
• Jicama can be cut into julienne strips 6 hours ahead and chilled,
covered.

Makes 8 servings.
