- Chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
- In a large bowl, toss Hatch chile, apple, jicama, tangerines and salad greens.
- Add just enough dressing to coat salad and toss.
- Top with nuts or sesame seeds.
- To roast the peppers, either put them under the broiler for a few minutes, watching until they begin to char. Or toast them on a stick over a gas burner. Once they’re charred, popping them into a paper bag for a few minutes will make them easy to peel. “Cook time” listed is actually chilling time for the dressing.
