Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 lb) jicama
- 2 large avocado
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (chopped) cilantro
- 2 lime
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized pieces or small cubes. Place in a mixing bowl.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into bite-sized chunks and add them to the bowl with the jicama.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add to the salad bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro and sprinkle it over the salad mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of two limes, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined.
Pour the lime dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat. Be careful not to break apart the avocado chunks.
If serving with mixed greens, arrange them on a large platter or individual plates, then top with the jicama and avocado mixture.
Serve immediately as a light salad or side dish. Enjoy!
