How Do You Make Jicama Salad?
Sometimes referred to as a Yam bean, Mexican potato or turnip, this crispy root-which is part of the legume family-looks like an uncooked potato but has a crisp, refreshing apple-like mouth-feel. Because its flavor is mild and slightly sweet, it picks up the flavor of accompanying ingredients with great success. Cut off ends of jicama. Hold firmly in one hand and peel skin from top to bottom using a knife. Cut jicama into matchstick-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Squeeze lime juice on jicama. Add orange juice and stir. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Prior to serving, stir again to combine.
