Jicama & Pineapple Snack (Ww Core)

justcallmetoni's Note:

This dish, local to Guerrero, is a nice twist on the more common comcination of jicama and oranges. It works well as a snack or as a starter salad. I love the contrast between the crispy jicama and the softer, sweeter piña. Serves four as a snack or two salad portions.

A nice and refreshing salad with lots of crunch. I enjoyed it more the second day and would recommend allowing it to sit longer than the 30 minutes recommended. Next time, I might leave some of the seeds in the pepper as this was very mild.
