This jicama salad is healthy, full of flavor, and has an exciting crunch. Jicama is a tuber vegetable that’s believed to have originated from Mexico and has now spread to other parts of the world in tropical and subtropical regions. Jicama is bulbous, with thick brown skin, and is creamy and white on the inside. It’s similar in flavor and texture to apples and potatoes, but not as sweet as apples and lower in carbs than potatoes. It’s well-loved for its crisp, earthy, and slightly-sweet flavor. 

This salad is perfect as a side dish to vegan black bean burgers, mac and cheese, tacos, and more. It can also be made ahead of time to bring on a hike or to work.
