Jicama salad

will try

Mmmm, this was yummy. I served it tonight with Butterfly_8's stewed chicken. Unfortunately, my jicima was a little on the south side of fresh so I added 1/4C of fresh chopped parsley and about 2T of finely minced red onion. It was a hit. And so refreshing. I love the lime in it.

Thanks I think I going to give this recipe a try. I like crunchiness.

You can find jicama in most grocery store produce sections now. To me the best part of jicama is its crunchy crispness. It sort of looks like a potato on the outside, but it will be found with the refrigerated produce. I make a salad very similar to this but I also add some finely sliced radishes as well. They add a little pepperiness as well as more color and crunch.

What does a jicama taste like? Is it hot?

I am going to look for it. I like turnips,and you know I am willing to try this.

I have to admit, that was a new one for me too. But certainly am going to try it.

Jicama is a tuber, very similar to a turnip, but it is brown skinned with a white inside. It is very crisp and mild. You will like it, I'm sure. I have seen them popping up at my farmer's market, so they must be coming into season. Try it Butterfly
