Jicama Salsa
Jicama Salsa can be a refreshing salad, a healthy snack or a dip made with fresh ingredients such as jicama, apple, pepper, chili and lime. The sweetness of the jicama is balanced by the tangy lime and heat from the jalapenos!
Equipment
- By hand, wooden bowl
Ingredients
- 1½ cups jicama peeled, cubed
- 1 cup red pepper chopped
- 1¼ cup cucumber deseeded, chopped
- ½ cup apple peeled, chopped
- ½ cup red onion chopped
- 1 lime juice
- 2 Jalapeno deseeded, chopped
- ¾ tsp salt
- 8 sprig cilantro chopped
- 1 tsp avocado oil optional
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients.
- Mix the lime juice with salt and a dash of avocado oil (optional) in a small glass bowl and toss in the chilis. Cover with a cling film and the refrigerate the bowl for a minute.
- In a medium-sized wooden bowl, add the other chopped ingredients for the salsa. Mix together with a wooden spoon and/or fork.
- Add the refrigerated chili/lime dressing to the chopped vegetables. Mix well with the wooden spoon and fork.

Notes
- I have given the quantities in cups since the size of vegetables and fruits vary by region. You need more of the chopped jicama for this salsa and just half a cup of both the apple and red onion.
