Jicama Mango Salad with Cilantro and Lime

It's not easy to find jicamas in Montreal so I don't have much experience with them. I love this salad but my husband thought there was too much lime. He rarely complains about anything I make, so I would go easy on the lime next time.

Ingredients:

• 1 large jicama, peeled and cut into matchsticks                       
• 1 small red bell pepper, cut into matchsticks                                             
• 1 large firm mango, peeled and cut into matchsticks                                             
• 1/2 red onion, cut into matchsticks (or green onions)                                                                           
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 lime, juiced (original recipe calls for 2 limes)           
• 1/4 cup honey (or sweetener of choice)                        
• 1 teaspoon salt                    
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste                                             

 

Instructions:

1. Toss jicama, red pepper, mango and red onion in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, mix cilantro, lime, honey, salt and cayenne pepper together.
3. Mix it all together and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving, to let the flavours blend.
