A beautiful vibrant salad, refreshing to the palate and a perfect pairing to summer BBQ meals like mahi mahi tacos! Eat it as a side or add it as a slaw to your tacos. It all comes together with a lime, jalapeno, and cilantro vinaigrette. The sweet and spicy tang of the dressing, and crunch of the jicama is a perfect flavor to satisfy any taste bud during the hot days! —Stacy

Really good and fresh tasting! I added 2 avocados which was pretty and yummy with the mango, 1 can of black beans for color mostly, and much more cilantro - probably 2 cups. I also added the juice of another lime in the dressing to make it tangier. I will definitely make this again - everybody at the party liked it.
