Add the jalapenos into the mix slowly. Season the vegetables with salt, cumin and lime juice. Add the jicama, avocado, cilantro and onion to taste, and mix together. Chop the onion, cilantro and jalapeno finely. Cut the avocado, and cut it into chunks. Peel and chop the jicama in small cubes. The time consuming part is chopping the vegetables, but it makes a large batch that can be used for several days to freshen up and add some flavor to your meals Lime Juice, Salt & Cumin – Flavor enhancers. Cilantro – Always add green herbs to dishes if you have them on hand! They are nutrient packed, as well as adding great, fresh flavor. Working a little into your diet will only have positive health benefits! Onions have powerful antioxidants, and are high in B vitamins and vitamin C. Red Onion – Definitely skip the onion if you don’t like it or don’t keep it in the house, but just a little bit adds a lot of flavor (and beautiful color!) to this dish. It’s a brown root vegetable popular in Mexico, so if you don’t see it at your regular grocers, try a store that carries a lot of Mexican imports.
Jicama – this healthy low carb veggie has a texture that’s a cross between watermelon and a potato (weird sounding – but trust me, it’s delicious!), and a lightly sweet flavor.Avocados – try to get them ripe, but not overripe, especially if you don’t plan on eating the whole salsa recipe in one day.The crunch, spicy, tangy lime juice and creamy, rich avocado meld into the perfect topping, great for grilled meats or seafood. I love jicama for it’s subtle earthiness, and it adds the best crunch to an avocado recipe that would otherwise be mostly soft and creamy.
