Southwestern Corn, Jicama & Edamame salad w Cilantro Jalapeno Vinegarette

08/25/2014 by Deborah Brooks

IMG_2731

Stay tuned for an amazing Meatless Monday link up co-hosted by myself and Tina Muir starting in September. We hope you’ll link up with us then.

I’m loving all the great corn and tomatoes this summer so I whipped up this easy salad with some of my favorite ingredients. Hope you like it! I’ve used fresh corn but if you can’t subbing with frozen should work as well. The jicama adds a nice crunch and flavor. Tip: They will cut and dice a jicama for you at Whole Foods for no charge.

The jalapeno cilantro vinegarette is so good and can be used on just about any salad. Vegetarian, Vegan & GFย  Enjoy!

Meet Deborah

Hi I'm Deborah! I spend my days successfully raising a husband & 2 teens in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. As a life long vegetarian, I've always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 700 members. I've met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into. I love to keep up to date on new running & fitness trends. I definitely choose my running gear based on color and love to express my fashion sense while exercising.

    Salad looks very refreshing for a hot summer day. I’ll have to try that dressing. My oil and vinegar is getting old.

    I love jicama, and this salad sounds delish…but I”m not a fan of edamame. I’d probably just leave it out or substitute black beans.

    I love jicama! It’s a really good addition to a summer salad. I’ve been making similar “salads” this whole summer – these combos are perfect for the hot months. I never thought to add edamame, though. Great idea for even more protein!
