Jicama adds crunch to this salad. You can add toasted pecans or almonds for even more texture. Make the salad up to one day ahead, and serve with grilled chicken or pork.

This a refreshing salad that is easy to make. Like others I added less mint than called for, but I don't think the full cup (loosely measured) would be too much for mint lovers. I would say start with 3/4 cup and go from there.07/14/09

WOW was this good. I left out the mint, as I don't care for it but it was outstanding without it! I think you could easily add a can of drained/rinsed black beans to this making a fabulous vegan main dish. It would also be great to take to work for lunch.07/09/09
