Jicama With Chili Salt

"This is an adopted recipe that I have finally had the opportunity to try. The combination of the lime with the chili salt on the crisp jicama is really good. I used a chipotle chili pepper and found the ration of salt to heat to be just right. The original posted tried this at a sample table in Whole Foods Market."

  1. Wow is right! Delicious! After seeing this recipe I headed to the Asian market in Philadelphia this morning and picked up some wonderful jicama. This stuff is addictive! I used a whole teaspoon of chili powder to the tablespoon of kosher salt. Mmm.. the cold and crunchy jicama with the lime juice and seasonings was very satisfying.
     
  2. WOW! This is good! I like jicama but never know how to use it. This would be a great snack just to have around to munch on instead of potato chips. I used 1/4 tsp. chili powder but next time I'm going for the full amount. I can't wait to go back to the store for another jicama. Thanks for posting this!
