Jicama Salad

Such a refreshing salad for the summer!

Gather all your ingredients to put this salad together quickly.

Recently, I ate this salad in a great restaurant near my house. 

The restaurant has a nuevo rancho menu.

This salad compliments so many of their wood-fired foods,

and I think it will compliment many meat dishes

you may be preparing on the grill this summer.

Not having a recipe from the restaurant, I came home and created

my version of what they serve.

It is so refreshing and crunchy of a salad with all that jicama,

you could just eat it by itself for lunch.

As Always,

ENJOY!
