Ingredients

1 medium jicama (about 1 pound)
2 small cucumbers
3 medium mangoes
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves, plus sprigs, for garnish
2 teaspoons powdered dried chile - any medium heat kind is fine
2 limes, juiced
Kosher salt

Directions

Peel and cut the jicama into long thin strips. Slice the cucumbers in half, scoop out the seeds and then cut into strips similar in size to the jicama strips. Peel the mangoes, cut the cheeks off, then slice into wedges. Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the chopped cilantro, powdered chile and lime juice. When ready to serve, season with a little salt and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs.

Total Refreshment!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe. Easy, awesome salad to beat the summertime heat. Crunchy, cool and delicious. Even better after 24 hours or... so. I continue to make this and although a lot of people aren't familiar with jicama, they love it in this salad. Read more

LOVED it!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I decided to chop the Jicama into very thin slices. Since its not mango season, I bought at a chinese store 2 orange mangos... and one green (sour). It added flavour and I downscaled the lime. I didn't use the cucs. It came out AWESOME, so colorful and full of taste! Thanks Tyler.Read more

very bland
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

After watching this episode, my husband and I thought it would be very interesting to try. We loved the chicken enchiladas... from the same episode. We found this recipe to be too chunky (as Tyler instructed during the show.) We love spice and added more than the recipe called for and still found this recipe to be very bland... Often, we have realized discrepancies between the chef's show and what is typed as the recipe on the web site...Read more

Nice BBQ menu change, and very refreshing!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My boyfriend didn't even know what a jicama was before I made this for him, and now he loves it! I ended up only being able... to use two mangos - my third just wasn't ripe enough - but I compensated with extra cucumber. It came out great. I did add about a teaspoon of black pepper for some punch. I served this at a traditional barbeque, and it was a hit - especially with the ladies, who were dreading more potato salad!Read more
