Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 pound) jicama
- 0.5 cup (chopped) cilantro, fresh
- 3 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
- 1 small red chile (such as Fresno or red jalapeño)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 medium radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 small cucumber, peeled and diced
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips or small cubes, depending on your preference.
Thinly slice the radishes and dice the cucumber. Add both to a large mixing bowl along with the jicama.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Slice the red chile into thin rings, removing the seeds if a milder heat is desired, and add to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the jicama mixture and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or salt as desired.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates and serve immediately. Enjoy!
