Ingredients
  • 2 piece firm-ripe mangoes (1 1/4 lb. each
  • 1 piece jicama (about 1 1/2 lb.)
  • 1 cup(s) fresh cilantro, italian parsley, and/or mint leaves, rinsed and crisped
  • 1 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil salt and pepper
Directions

1. With a small, sharp knife, peel mangoes. One at a time, set fruit on one narrow edge on a board and cut 1/8-inch-thick slices off each side down to the pit. Save remaining fruit around pits for another use.
2. Cut peel off jicama and discard. Lay jicama on board, flattest side down, and cut into 1/8-inch-thick ovals. Trim slices, if necessary, to match size of mango slices, about 2 by 4 inches.

3. Pour habanero vinaigrette into a rimmed plate. Dip a jicama slice in dressing, turning to coat and letting excess drain back into plate; set jicama on a separate plate. Lay a mango slice on top (if slices aren't perfect, fit pieces together to cover). Repeat to stack a total of four jicama and four mango slices. Coat remaining jicama slices and layer with mango slices to make three more servings.

4. Drizzle remaining dressing equally over stacks. In a small bowl, mix cilantro with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mound equally on stacks.
