Jicama is a South American fruit, that tastes like a cross between an apple and a potato. The texture is perfect for this salad!

Recipe Note
When prepping the jalapeno, be sure to wear gloves. The spicy oil from the stems and seeds can linger on your fingers long after you've washed your hands. It can cause stinging under your fingernails, or burning in your eyes if you happen to touch them.
