| Jicama Salad | Spring is here and salads will be making their way into our diets more and more as fresh produce is more abundant in the supermarket and at your local Farmer’s Market. Jicama, also known as a Mexican potato, resembles a turnip but is a cousin of the sweet potato. Raw jicama tastes similar to a pear or apple, enhancing fresh fruit salads by absorbing and reflecting the surrounding flavors.
Alegent Health Cardiac Dietitian, Toni Kuehneman, MS, RD, LMNT, says that jicama is a versatile vegetable and is equally good when cooked. She suggests using it sautéed with carrots or green beans, stir-fried with chicken or shrimp or simmered in savory stews.
