a great way to get Mexican flavors and crunch with fewer calories! Works for me. When I turned thirty I threw a dinner party and something on the menu called for jicama which I'd never heard of. I made a pilgrimage to the Latino market on the LES to get it. And was glad I did! Such a great texture. Thanks for linking up at #SaucySaturdays.

In reply to Kaila (GF Life 24/7). I can imagine watermelon and jicama go really well together - one for me to try! And it works well here, too. Happy FF to you too.

I posted a Mexican recipe too Caroline - at a Mexican class recently they cut up the jicama into thin slices and then dipped them in a mixture of equal parts chili powder and salt. Very interesting and hot! If I make them I will change up those two ingredients 🙂

I make a watermelon fruit salad with jicama, I bet it goes well in here too!! I love the vibrant colors in this salad! This looks like something my whole family would enjoy. Happy FF, and have a fantastic weekend. 😀

I used to eat Jima a alone - with salt and soy sauce. I don't think I have tried it with salad. The crunch from Jimaca would be perfect for Mexican salad. Thanks for bringing this at FF table, Caroline. I hope you are enjoying the party. Have a lovely weekend and happy FF! 🙂

I've been making chopped salads, too!! But haven't tried the Mexican version. Time to get jicama. I love that crunchy thing!
