This is one of those great refreshing summer salads that is super easy to make. If you find it hard to find jicama, try a mexican market. Unfortunately, it is very hard to find organic jicama but thank god it has a tough skin. Make sure to look for mould spots before you buy one. This recipe contains mango so if you are concerned about your sugar intake just leave it out!
Ingredients:
• 1 softball sized jicama, peeled and shredded with a mandoline
• 1 red bell peppers, sliced
• 1 mango, sliced / diced
• 1 large handful of cilantro, chopped

optional (if in season):

• dressing made with 1/2 pomegranate juice and 1/2 olive oil
1. Add the jicama, bell pepper, mango and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
2. Drizzle with olive oil or pomegranate dressing.
3. Decorate with optional pomegranate seeds.
Serves two.
