I had been looking for ways to use my smoked paprika so when I saw Giada make this I had to try it. Amazing flavors. I followed the recipe exactly - very easy and delicious. Everyone loved it. Perfect smokey flavor for a bbq. Don't leave anything out. One thing, it makes a ton. The recipe say 4-6 servings but I'd say it's more like 8-10 as a side dish. Next time I'll cut the recipe in half for the four of us.

I've made this twice, first time with the dressing (using Maple syrup instead of agave, and second time, without the dressing. Big Hit with everyone especially my Son, who appreciated this healthy, clean salad. This will be a regular in our house.

This was a REALLY good recipe. I made a few changes based on the other reviews, and I liked it very much. I decreased the initial olive oil to one tablespoon and the olive oil in the dressing to one tablespoon.

I used the zest and juice of one lemon and lime, and it was just perfect! I'm excited to snack on this all week.

It was not spicy at all to me, so I would definitely used the cayenne. Also, I didn't use the Agave but didn't miss it at all.

Love this salad!! The only thing I changed was the amount of lemon and lime juice. I added quite a lot more because I like those flavors so much. Also, I did not use cayenne pepper because I don't like any of my foods to be spicy. I'll be making this often. A little time-consuming, but well worth it.

The cooking part & use of bayleaf makes it more like soup than salad and also more work. Was just...ok, probably won't make again.

As usual I did vary the recipe-I added crumbled mexican cheese which I feel took it over the top. I served this salad as a layer to tostadas as well as on the side. I will happily make this salad again. And again!

The jicama makes this recipe. I tasted it at every step and can vouch for it. And even more fabulous after the dressing is added - such a fresh and interesting dish. The agave nectar is an expensive nothing ingredient. Save your $5. The spices are so well matched and interesting you can skip the 1 bay leaf, it is very difficult to retreive later. A little Rose's lime juice would be sufficient or even sugar water or use corn syrup for the sweetening ingredient. It does take quite a bit of time to put this dish together but there are no shortcuts other than frozen corn. This would be a good recipe for a 2 cook effort. Make it a few hours ahead of serving. The flavors develop but it makes sooooo much especially since you will probable be serving meat and other side dishes.
