Raw Food Journey Day 5

Well today I made a green juice in the morning, made a nice salad for lunch...and for dinner I had bought some jicama (pronounced hee-ka-ma) that I was trying for the first time. Well after some trial and error, I created a wrap was pretty good.

Jicarrvocado Lettuce Wrap

Ingredients:
Grated Jicama
Grated Carrot
Alfalfa Honey
Red Chili Pepper Flakes
Soy Sauce
Sesame Oil
Vinegar
Romaine Lettuce
Avocado
Sesame Seeds

Preparation:
1. Grate the carrot and Jicama
2. Squeeze all of the water out of the Jicama
3. Mix Vinegar, Honey, Soy sauce, Sesame oil and Chili Flakes(as desired) in a bowl.
4. Add the grated carrot and Jicama to the sauce and mix well. Garnish with sesame seeds.
5. Now cut the avocado and put it on a leaf of romaine lettuce along with some of the jicama and carrot mix as "filler"
6. Wrap it up and enjoy your fresh wrap!

NOTE: The smallest and heaviest Jicamas are often the most tender. Because the Jicama is so waxy and rooty, also make sure you have a good peeler and that the tough outer layer does not make its way into your delicious wrap. Jicama is often enjoyed in some Latin American Countries with Lime and Salt. Simple as that!

Happy Raw-Fooding.
