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!

In my family, I am most famous (infamous) for several dishes:
My first original recipe: Conceived around age 7, for a cheese sandwich. Toasted English muffin, spread with butter, slice of American cheese, a good layer of Parmesan, top with other half of buttered muffin.
My most disasterous recipe: The Exploding Brownies. Otherwise great hershey's recipe for brownies involving an ingredient (baking powder) that I'd never used before. I somehow misread 1/4 teaspoon as a 1/4 cup. Brownie coated the ENTIRE oven.
My most requested recipe: Stollen at Christmas. I am required to make one for my mother ever since my sister gave me Christian Teubner's wonderful Christmas Baking book full of traditional German Christmas treats.
