Preparation

  1. To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth. Set aside.
  2. To make the salad, heat the vegetable oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat, and add one-third of the sea parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the parsley is crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove the parsley with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, combine carrots, jicama, cucumber and remaining sea parsley, and toss. Toss again with the dressing. Crush the fried sea parsley, and sprinkle it over the salad, along with the sesame seeds. Serve.
