Jicama Persimmon Miso Salad

Morsels of Life - Jicama Persimmon Miso Salad - Toss some jicama and persimmons into your lettuce salad. Top it off with a citrusy miso dressing for one flavorful and texturally diverse Jicama Persimmon Miso Salad!

We'd recently bought a jicama since they were on sale, and I thought back to Jicama Slaw, thinking I might make it again. Then I saw the ripening persimmons my parents gave us. I also remembered we had some lettuce since we originally planned on packing sandwiches when we hiked Raven Rock. Except we decided to make Fan Tuan instead, so I thought about combining our odds and ends into some sort of salad.

At first, I wasn't so sure of the flavor combo - jicama and persimmons? One slightly sweet and crunchy, and the other sweet and firm? Maybe a savory and tangy dressing could tie it all together. So I went with miso and lime. Another odd couple, but along with the avocado, it really worked to pull everything together. Next time, I'm thinking I'll also add a bit of red onion. :)

What's an odd sounding flavor combo you like?
