This is delicious with chicken. I'm sure it would pair nicely with fish and pork as well.

This was a nice refreshing salad and a great change from you standard tossed salad. I added some thinly sliced green onions and a some mint to round out the flavor. I also added a touch of chili powder as it is always a good compliment to jicama. My jalepeno was a particularly spicy bugger which made this a little bit more of a challenge for us to eat, but we still enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing!
