Thank you Sydney Mike for another great dinner! We made this exactly as written with 2 exceptions: cashews for the peanuts and golden raisins instead of dark (and a wee bit more than 1/8 cup ;D ). Jicamas are hard to get where I live; it is a 50 mile drive south or a 75 mile drive east, so we might not have this as often as we would like. But I've practically got my car keys in hand now! Thank you again!

We enjoyed this different and easy to make salad. I forgot the lettuce and red pepper flakes but otherwise made as directed with both the peanuts and the raisins. Very good! Thanks for sharing!

I really liked this combination of fruits & things. I used cashews (lots of cashews!) instead of peanuts because that's what I had on hand. I really liked the raisins and the crunchiness of the jicama. My oranges weren't very juicy, so I added the juice of another one. The spices didn't really suit me, but that's probably personal preference. Reveriewed for the Veg*n Recipe Swap.

I loved this recipe I cut the Jicama into chunks and add the raisins along with the chili and the red pepper flaskes along with the sweetness of the blood orange and navel oranges that I used it was not only delicious it was also beautiful - I tossed a little chopped cilantro on top - thanks Mike awesome (and healthy too LOL) recipe

I wasn't sure how I felt about this at first, but I kept going back for another bite, and ended up really liking this! I left out the peanuts, but enjoyed the sweetness of the raisins. thank you Mike!
