I really enjoyed this recipe. First time I've had jicama and loved the crunch that it added to the salad. Not a huge fan of cilantro but can tolerate it. Just used a little less of it. I would imagine it could be substituted with parsley. Very good salad though. Thanks Rachael.

This was a great salad. Unfortunately, sent dh to store for cilantro and he came back with parsley. So it was sans cilantro but was still delicious.

My husband gave this a 5, but my son and I both thought it was a 4. We did like the jicama which is the first time any of us had eaten it. I just thought the salad was a little lacking in flavor. In fairness, I didn't add the cilantro as none of us like it, so I will probably have to come up with a substitute for it next time in order to pep up the salad.
