Tips:

  • Peel and slice the jicama thinly: This will help it absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of radishes: Different types of radishes will add different flavors and textures to the salad. Try using a mix of red, white, and black radishes.
  • Toast the pepitas: Toasting the pepitas will bring out their nutty flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. It can be made up to 2 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
