Jicama Salad

While my friends and I were attending the Quick Quotes Private Reserve Weekend they served us this jicama salad that was to die for. I have modified the recipe here for you. Once you try it I promise you will not be able to put your fork down.

For the Salad:

Ingredients:

Julien slice all ingresients and place in a large bowl

2 Large jicama peeled

1 White Onion sliced very thinly

1 Large Red Bell Pepper

1 Large Yellow Bell Pepper

1 Jar Sun Dried Tomatos thinly sliced


For Remoulade Dressing:

Ingredience:

Place all ingredience in a blender

1/4 Cup Lemon juice

1/2 Cup thinly sliced White Onion

1/2 Cup chopped Green Onion

1/4 Cup Celery (take off string)

2 Tbls Garlic

3 Tbls prepared Horseradich

3 Tbls Whole Grain Mustard

3 Tbls prepared Yellow Mustard

3 Tbls Ketchup

1 tsp Salt

with all ingredients in blender mix until blended, then add 1 Cup Canola Oil until emulsified. You may choose to make the dressing more creamy by adding 1/2 Cup Mayonaise to the mix (I chose to forgo the extra calories and didn't miss it in the taste or creamyness).

Add dressing to the salad and serve.

Quick Quotes Private Reserve Weekend

Last month a few of my friends and I attended Quick Quotes (QQ) Private Reserve Weekend. For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about, it's all about scrapbooking.
I have to tell you that the QQ ladies did a fabulous job at one of thier first go round weekend reserves. I know that they have done a few others at other cities and I am sure that they had as great of time as we did here.

I know that we completed so many great, fun, new projects that I can't wait to attend another Quick Quotes Private Reserve Weekend. My friends and I have attended Creative Escapes a few years in a row (2007 & 2008) and dollar for dollar we all agree that QQ is where it's at. I also felt that I got more completed and more usable projects out of the QQ weekend at a much lower price. I also felt I would give up a Creating Keepsakes convention to attend another Quick Quotes Private Reserve.

My advice if you are into scrapbooking and have an opportunity to attend a Quick Quotes Private Reserve, don't pass it up I promise you wont regret it.
