Jícama, Radish, and Cucumber Salad
Report
This healthy salad explodes with all the Mexican flavors I crave. It makes a large portion and would be great for a dinner party. This is a nice change from the standard salad. It’s bright, zesty, refreshing, crunchy, sweet, and tangy, with a little kick.

Ingredients
- 2 shallots thinly sliced, small
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

- 5 radish trimmed, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 jicama peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes, medium

- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 tsp. lime finely grated zest

- 1 teaspoon chili powder recommend Tajin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup feta cheese optional, crumbled
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the shallots with the red wine vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt; let sit until the shallots have mellowed and turned a light pink, about 15 minutes. Strain the shallots and discard the liquid.
- In a medium bowl, toss the shallots, radishes, jícama, cucumber, and a pinch of salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, honey, lime zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and a pinch of chile powder. Gradually whisk in the olive oil.
