This jicama fruit salad is also known as "pico de gallo" in Mexico. Not to be confused with the other pico de gallo, which is a savory salsa. This salad is very refreshing and very forgiving. Any fruits can be added but the original vegetable in this salad is always jicama.

SUMMER CUCUMBER JICAMA SALAD



Summer Cucumber Jicama Salad image

This is a really great cucumber salad that's light and flavorful and makes a great starter! Tastes fine as it is, but can be salted and peppered to taste, if desired. Just remember to add all ingredients and mix before adding in the tomatoes, as they are extremely delicate and do not withstand stirring very well once they are cut.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different tropical fruits to create a colorful and flavorful salad. Some popular options include pineapple, mango, papaya, kiwi, and star fruit.
  • Prepare the fruits properly: Before adding the fruits to the salad, be sure to peel, core, and slice them as needed. This will make them easier to eat and will help the flavors blend together.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavors of the fruits, so opt for a light and refreshing dressing. A simple vinaigrette or honey-lime dressing is a good option.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the flavors meld together and will make it more refreshing.
