Jicama (also known as the “Mexican turnip”) has a taste and texture reminiscent of a crisp apple or raw potato, and its mild taste makes it a versatile addition to all kinds of salads. Here the vegetable takes center stage with a spicy dressing that replicates the flavors of a popular street snack—jicama slices sprinkled with chili powder and lime juice.
