Israeli Salad with Jicama image

I found this easy, tasty recipe in a Chicago Sun-Times article on Passover recipes. You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this one! This salad goes very well with grilled chicken or served on lettuce leaves for a light lunch.

1 long English cucumber
8 -10 plum tomatoes or 4 medium tomatoes, seeded and cut into a small dice

  • If you're making the salad more than a few hours ahead, don't add the salt until ready to serve or it will make the vegetables watery.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the jicama.
