Jicama Romaine Salad image

Stephanie Homme and her family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana are real fans of jicama. "It's a Mexican root vegetable that's like a cross between a turnip and sweet potato," she explains. "It's juicy, sweet and adds crunch and heat to this wonderful salad with feisty Mexican flair."

I thought this salad was just okay. The jicama was a bit too crunchy for my taste and the dressing was a little bland.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover jicama and romaine lettuce.

This salad is definitely not for everyone. The jicama is very strong-flavored and the dressing is very tart. However, if you like those flavors, then you'll probably enjoy this salad.
