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
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced jicama, sliced radishes, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix the ingredients evenly.
- 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.
- Pour the dressing over the jicama and radish mixture. Toss well to ensure that all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- 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.
- 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!
Tips
- For added crunch and nutrition, consider adding diced cucumbers or bell peppers to the salad.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- This salad can be prepared a few hours in advance; just keep it covered in the refrigerator until serving.
