Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Toast Sesame Seed

Place seed in single layer on baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 5 min. or until golden brown.

How to Peel Jicama

Use vegetable peeler or small paring knife to remove thin brown skin from jicama to reveal white interior. Cut jicama in half; place, cut-sides down, on cutting board. Cut into thin slices or matchstick pieces with chef's knife or mandolin.

Substitute

Substitute fresh spinach leaves for the torn lettuce.
