Notes
Prepare the dressing and cut the fruit and vegetables in advance, but store them separately until just before serving to maintain freshness. This salsa is versatile and can be served with chips, spooned over grilled chicken or fish, or used as a side dish for potlucks and picnics. Jicama provides the white color and crunch; available in produce sections of larger grocery stores.
