Loved the cilantro, and will definitely make this salad again for my friends! Healthy, good texture and easy to make. Just learned how to pronounce Jicama today, thanks to Rachael Ray!

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.
