Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Jicama (2 cups, peeled and diced)
  • Radishes (1 cup, thinly sliced)
  • Fresh cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Lime juice (3 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced jicama, sliced radishes, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the jicama and radish mixture. Toss well to ensure that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Cover the salad and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the jicama to absorb the refreshing dressing.
  5. Serve chilled as a delightful side dish or enjoy it as a light lunch on its own. Relish the crunch and zesty flavors with every bite!
