Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) jicama
- 2 cups (fresh, diced) pineapple
- 1 medium lime
- 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Peel the jicama using a sharp knife to remove both the papery skin and the thick fibrous layer underneath. Once peeled, cut the jicama into matchstick-sized pieces or small cubes.
Prepare the pineapple by cutting it into small, bite-sized pieces if not already diced.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jicama and pineapple pieces.
Juice the lime and pour the lime juice over the jicama and pineapple mixture. Toss well to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chili powder and salt over the mixture, and toss again to ensure even distribution of the seasoning.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an added burst of freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately or cover the bowl and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld before serving.
