raw jicama ceviche

Hi Friends! Here's a recipe from a workshop I held a couple months ago. This is super easy to make and the mango in the recipe adds a sweet taste.

• 1 medium sized jicama (peeled and shredded)
• juice of 3-4 limes
• 2 large tomatoes chopped
• 1/2 an onion chopped (use less or more depending on your preference for onion, using a red one adds beautiful color).
• Cilantro (about 2-3 handfuls chopped)
• 1/4 cup of ketchup
• 1-2 cucumber diced (If using small pickling cucumbers use 2)
• 1-2 carrots (diced)
• 1 chopped mango
• 1 avocado chopped
• salt to taste
• optional: A couple of dashes of favorite hot sauce or diced jalapeño/chile serrano

How to: Peel and shred your jicama and add lime juice.Then add chopped tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado, mango. Add cilantro and chile and add about 1/4 cup of ketchup or as much as you’d like and season with salt. Try to use ketchup that doesn’t contain corn syrup (check labels, but if that is all you have access to, be mindful of how much you put in. You can also forgo the ketchup for a much healthier dish, but I feel it reminds me more of ceviche this way). Chill for a couple hours. You can eat it by itself, with a tostada, chips, or with pieces of lettuce as wraps.

Enjoy!
