Your rating: None Average: 4 (2 votes)

Grated jicama, carrots and Granny Smith apples tossed with a tangy cider vinaigrette is a tasty side dish for summer barbecues. Make it a meal: Serve alongside Sweet-&-Sour Chicken Drumsticks.


READER'S COMMENT:
"A tasty salad. I will probably julienne the jicama and carrot next time as grating seemed to make it too "mushy" even using the largest grate. However, it is still a great salad and easy to prepare. "
