JICAMA MANGO SALAD

Jicama Mango Salad

with Cherry Tomatoes, Cilantro & Lime

Ingredients:

The Salad:

1 large jicama, peeled and cut into matchsticks

1 small red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks

1 small jalapeño pepper, cut into matchsticks

1 large firm mango, peeled and cut into matchsticks

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)

The Dressing:

1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

1/4 cup honey

2 medium limes, juiced

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste

Directions:

Make the salad:

Toss jicama, bell pepper, jalapeño, mango, tomatoes, and onion together in a large bowl.

Make the dressing:

Stir cilantro, honey, lime juice, salt, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl.

Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes:

Try to find a good, firm mango so it's easier to cut into matchsticks. Mushy mango is a non-starter.

Tough recipe, huh? As long as you don't open a vein while you're prepping the jicama and mango, this is a breeze to prepare.
