AVOCADO & JICAMA SALAD
Simple attractive salad. Be sure the Jicama has a tight skin, does not look wrinkled and when you cut into it the flesh is pure white. If you have a couple of days before you want to make this salad choose green avocados place them in a paper bag and put them in a cupboard for 2-3 days and they will ripen perfectly. They are dark green almost black when they are ripe
