I found the jicama to be a bit too crunchy for my liking.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, but I didn't find it to be overpowering in this salad.

This salad is easy to make and packed with flavor. I love that I can use up leftover chicken or steak in it. It's a great way to get a healthy meal on the table in a hurry.
