jicama salad

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago when I had bought a jicama and wasn't sure what to do with it.
It tasted better the next day and it will definitely be an addition to my summer salad line up!


1 large jicama, julienned

2 large carrots, julienne

1 cup red onion, finely sliced (I didn't have any)

1/2 red pepper, julienned

1/2 yellow pepper, julienned

1 tomato, julienned

1/2 english cucumber, chopped

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

Pinch of cayenne

Salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Directions

Combine jicama, carrots, red onion, both peppers, tomato in a medium bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, honey, olive oil and cayenne and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cilantro and let sit for 30 minutes
