This refreshing jicama salad is a vibrant vegetarian dish that brings a crisp, cooling crunch to any meal. Jicama, a root vegetable often described as a cross between an apple and a water chestnut, provides a wonderful base for the bright flavours of lime juice and smoky chilli powder. It is an ideal summer side dish, offering a unique texture that remains satisfyingly firm and juicy.
Perfect as a light starter or a healthy accompaniment to grilled mains, this salad is incredibly simple to prepare. The addition of fresh mint provides a burst of herbal fragrance, while the salty finish of the cheese creates a well-rounded flavour profile. It is best served immediately after assembly to ensure the herbs stay bright and the jicama retains its signature snap.
