" This salad is great with any meal. It is crisp and refreshing. I like it because you can prepare it well in advance of serving. When buying a jicama be sure it is very firm, with a smooth light brown skin . Do not buy it if it has a pitted skin. When you cut it the meat must be snow white not beige coloured. Allow 2 hours to chill the salad and blend the flavours."
