Jicama Orange Salad

What’s not to love about a jicama? They are wonderfully refreshing and crunchy they pair with almost any other flavor.

This salad is a wonderful mixture of cold, crunchy jicama, juicy orange and wonderfully creamy avocado. It pairs well with the flavors of the southwest and soothes the palette if the rest of dinner is a bit on the spicy side.

I know once you try it this salad will become a regular on your menu.
