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:
- Choose the right jicama: Look for jicama that is firm and smooth, with no blemishes or bruises. The skin should be light brown and the flesh should be white and crisp.
- Peel and cut the jicama properly: Use a sharp knife to peel the jicama, then cut it into matchsticks or cubes. This will help the jicama to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
- Use a variety of ingredients: Jicama salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Try adding shredded carrots, celery, bell peppers, or snap peas. You can also add chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
- Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes a jicama salad shine. Try a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. You can also add honey, herbs, or spices to taste.
- Chill the salad before serving: Jicama salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Jicama salad is a healthy, refreshing, and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy salad option, give jicama salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
