I love the simplicity of this salad. It's made with just a few ingredients, but it's packed with flavor.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before and let it sit in the fridge overnight. The flavors meld together and it tastes even better the next day.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my guests. I usually add a little bit of chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch.

I was hesitant to try this salad because I'm not a big fan of jicama, but I'm so glad I did! The jicama adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the salad. The dressing is also very good. I will definitely be making this salad again.
