Jicama Turkey Salad

Submitted by Diann is Cooking

"I adapted this somewhat, but it comes from a recipe card from (I think) our local ShopRite, and was published by Try-Foods International way back in 1995. They recommend turkey breast, but I am a fan of dark meat due to its flavor, and so I suggest you use either, or a mixture of both. I have also cut in half the recommended amount of celery, but please add more if you prefer. If you have fresh dill, use this instead."

This would be a great recipe for summer and potlucks. I like the crunch of the jicama. I used chicken instead of turkey and the picture of it is on cabbage leaves because I didn't have any lettuce but kept everything else the same. DH thought something was lacking so he put some bacon bits on it and pronounced it better.
