Ingredients
1 butter lettuce leaves
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 large orange, peeled/sliced
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 cup jicama, julinanna chopped
1 salt
1 freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
3 tbsp olive oil
Directions
Line plates with lettuce. Top with orange slices. Mound with jicama.
Sprinkle with chopped red onion. Blend juice, vinegar, salt & pepper
in small bowl. Whisk in oil in thin stream. Spoon over salads.
Garnish with minced cilantro. (I enjoy Jicama as good food with Hot
sauce for dipping in.)
(Nancy O's notes: Jicama was good, but the rest was kinda not my
taste. It should be done right, but I sort of just dumped it all in a
bowl and mixed. A salad plate for each serving...too many dishes used
and no dishwasher!)
Food Exchanges per serving: 1 FRUIT EXCHANGE + 1 VEGETABLE EXCHANGE +
1 FAT EXCHANGE + 1 STARCH/BREAD EXCHANGE
Servings: 2

The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of foods and a score representing the speed that the glucose in the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters blood stream.
