Recipe Review

Light, fresh, and crunchy. I served this appetizer as a salad. It contains jicama, cucumbers, oranges, radishes (skipped those), marinated in lime juice for about 20 minutes. It is then topped by pickled onions (optional, I used them, easily made), cilantro, and ground up dried chiles. The recipe suggests guajillo peppers, and I found lovely ones in the market. I ground them up in an old coffee grinder. The pepper gave the dish a beautiful deep red color, but my peppers were so mild that they hardly added any flavor.

This was enjoyed by the whole family.

Looks and sounds delicious! I've never tried making anything with Jicama but this is tempting me.

We love jicama. It's like a mix of coconut and watermelon. I liked this enough to start looking for other jicama recipes. And I think it's very low calorie.
