Jicama looks like a brown turnip, but has a juicy white flesh. It adds crispness to salads, slaws and stir-fry or crudite dishes. Select firm, unblemished jicama that feel heavy. Store whole jicama in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Once peeled, wrap tightly and use within a few days. This light and refreshing salad is finished with a citrus-honey dressing, which balances spicier dishes on your menu.
