Thank you for this, the jicama slaw was really great. I love all those flavors together. I make a similar tamarind vinaigrette for shredded cabbage, but it was so nice with jicama (one of my favorite foods in summer). I actually had some snapper and was thinking of ways to cook it with tamarind, since I guessed it would work well together. After a little googling, I found your site. This really was a perfect recipe for the night. We didn’t add any other vegetables to the slaw, so the whole plate was a bit monochromatic, but my friend and I loved it nonetheless. Really tasty. Did you come up with the dressing yourself?

Hi, this looks absolutely wonderful! We are going to try it tonight. In response to the ‘what is jicama’ question–it looks like a big potato–kind of. It’s crispy and yummy after you skin it. You can find more info here: http://www.foodreference.com/html/art-jicama-history-facts.html

It can be found in almost any grocery stores produce section.

Hey, those vegetables look amazing and I’m guessing that marinade will work well on peaceful food as well. Thanks for posting!

Ah, this mysterious jicama thing has appeared again. I still haven’t seen them anywhere here!

I love red snapper but I always have trouble getting Goon to eat it. He gets funny about the bones. If only I could get the hang of filleting the darn things properly!

You make such exciting salads! When (if) it gets warm here I think I’ll be copying some. Minus the jicama.

If red snapper looks good tomorrow I’ll be making this. Simple, big flavors…I all for that.

That looks amazing, and I am not a seafood fan! I’ve always found red snapper to be too fishy for me (of course, I can’t get it fresh, living inland and all..). Do you think that I could substitute tilapia?

If I lived within walking distance to a farmer’s market I’d probably ditch the CSA. Seriously, the OBFM is good! Does the fish guy still show up?
