Between thick slices of mango, jicama, and cucumber mixed with pomegranate and cilantro dressing, this salad is perfect for finger food.

The name “jicama” comes from the Nahuatl word “xicamatl.” It is the name of a plant native to Mexico and its famous edible root. It is also known as “yam bean” or “Mexican turnip.”

Jicama is rich in dietary fiber and has a water content of 86-90%, making this salad a healthy choice for your meals.
