Title: Re: Jicama Potato Salad and Cauli Potato Salad
Post by: F2S-Awesome on May 11, 2011, 02:38:37 PM: Does jicama ever really get soft using the "keep adding boiling water" method? Just wondering because I'd love it so much more if it actually got soft. I have boiled it and boiled it for a long time and it never really got soft.
Title: Re: Jicama Potato Salad and Cauli Potato Salad
Post by: umpa on May 11, 2011, 06:36:05 PM: yes.if you add cold water it just firms back up everytime you add it.By adding boiling it breaks down ;)

Post by: mouseissue on May 27, 2012, 07:12:18 PM: The Cauli Potato Salad is soooo gooood!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

If you cook the cauliflower just right, it's SO MUCH better than potato salad!
I steam it for about 4-5 minutes so that it's still a little firm. 8)

Post by: suzanneT on June 21, 2012, 09:14:05 AM: Thanks Andrea I will. My biggest problem with the Jimaca Potato Salad plan? Kids ate the whole thing before I could cook it. They got my Walden Farms Caramel dipping sauce and went to town. What am I going to do with them? lol
Title: Re: Jicama Potato Salad and Cauli Potato Salad
Post by: shawn116 on June 21, 2012, 09:18:30 AM: Hmmm...... I hadn't thought of using the carmel sauce on them ::) I bet it's pretty go. I'm gonna have to give it a try now ha! Love raw jicama
Title: Re: Jicama Potato Salad and Cauli Potato Salad
Post by: Andrea on June 21, 2012, 09:46:27 AM: I hadn't thought of that, either. It's great that the kids liked it. The same texture as an apple without the carbs.

That is what I was thinking Andrea HA! I'm on a mission to find one today. I think Walmart had some nice fresh jicama last time I was in there...Yumm

Post by: suzlyn454 on April 06, 2013, 08:26:56 PM: Re the cauliflower potato salad...

I was searching here to see how anyone made this and looky what I found LOL! Anyway, I thought I would throw this out there. I had cooked some frozen cauliflower in order to make caulimash. Had about a cup of leftover caulimash and a cup of leftover cooked cauliflower in the fridge. What to do with it? Hmmmm. They were both cold so I cut up the cooked into chunks and put it in the caulimash. I added about 2-3 tsp mustard, 2 tbl SF relish, 2 drops sweetener, sprinkle of onion powder, salt, pepper. Mixed well and and surprise! A variation of cauliflower potato salad. Next time I'll try Umpa's recipe!
Title: Re: Jicama Potato Salad and Cauli Potato Salad
Post by: umpa on April 07, 2013, 10:10:36 AM: It is so good Suz ;) Grandson likes the jicama and cauliflower "potato" salad. If he likes it know other people will too.Kids are very honest :D

Title: Re: Jicama Potato Salad and Cauli Potato Salad
Post by: mouseissue on July 04, 2013, 04:22:34 PM: Since I can't find jicama around here, I substitute turnips.

I peel and cut them into chunks.
Then, par boil them with a few drops of FTS Zero until they loose their crunch (but firm).
The Zero offsets the "turnip twang". ;)

Very yummy!!! ;D ;D ;D
