Jicama is a starchy root vegetable that adds a unique crunch to fresh salads. Low in calories and rich in vitamin C, jicama’s mild flavor pairs well with sweet or savory ingredients.
Tips for the cook: Any type of melon can be used in this salad. Try a combination of cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon for a colorful presentation.
