Beet and Jicama Salad

This fresh little salad has some great crunch to it and sharp fresh flavors with a punch of heat that will wake your palate up!! Beets are one of my favorite veggies, yet they're so underutilized! Here's a chance to try them out!!

Beet and Jicama Salad
2 Beets, peeled and sliced into thin strips
3 Carrots, peeled and sliced into thin strips
1 Jicama, peeled and sliced into thin strips
2 Jalepenos, one seeded, ribs removed, one whole, minced
Juice and Zest of 2 Limes
1/2 Cilantro, chopped
1/2 C Parsley, chopped
Healthy pinch of Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
1 T Olive Oil

Cut beets, carrots and jicama into thin strips (I use a mandolin with the matchstick blade - makes it SUPER quick and easy) and combine in large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and toss to combine. Adjust Salt and Pepper as needed. QUICK, EASY, HEALTHY!

Note: Beets have CRAZY amounts of red pigment in them - The juice is what used to make Red Velvet cake SO RED! Best way to get it off your counters/cutting boards/utensils - Clorox Cleanup - Gone in an instant!! Your clothes however, will be harder to remove it from - Let's just put on an apron haha...
