SUMMER CUCUMBER JICAMA SALAD



Summer Cucumber Jicama Salad image

This is a really great cucumber salad that's light and flavorful and makes a great starter! Tastes fine as it is, but can be salted and peppered to taste, if desired. Just remember to add all ingredients and mix before adding in the tomatoes, as they are extremely delicate and do not withstand stirring very well once they are cut.

Tips:

  • For a sweeter salad, use ripe oranges. If they're a bit tart, add a little honey or agave syrup to taste.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, give it a quick stir and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
  • If you don't have jicama, you can substitute another crunchy vegetable, such as celery, carrots, or radishes.
  • For a spicy salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh cilantro or mint for a pop of color and flavor.
