Jicama Romaine Salad image

Stephanie Homme and her family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana are real fans of jicama. "It's a Mexican root vegetable that's like a cross between a turnip and sweet potato," she explains. "It's juicy, sweet and adds crunch and heat to this wonderful salad with feisty Mexican flair."

This salad is a great way to use up leftover jicama. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish.

This salad is easy to make and packed with flavor. I used a store-bought dressing, but I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade one.

The dressing is everything in this salad. I used a store-bought dressing, but I think it would be even better with a homemade one.

This jicama-romaine salad was a refreshing and delicious side dish. The combination of crunchy jicama, crisp romaine lettuce, and tangy dressing was perfect. I especially loved the addition of cotija cheese, which added a nice salty flavor to the sal
