    This tasty jicama salad is loaded with fiber and healthy fruits and vegetables for a delicious summer salad you can enjoy anytime of year.

    10 Minute Summer Jicama Salad

    I've lost about 22 pounds so far being vegan really without even trying. But cooking almost every day so I can have content to post on my blog page means that I eat really well. Sometimes, too well! This week we enjoyed two pasta dishes for dinner: my Creamy Avocado Pasta Primavera and my Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff. Don't get me wrong! I love to eat my own recipes. Every day is like a new adventure to me so I would never complain about it. But the pasta over the last week has left me feeling rather full, if you will, and today I vowed to make something fresh and light to celebrate the fact that summer is almost here. Presenting my 10-Minute Summer Jicama Salad. I wanted to make the name a bit more interesting, but I added just about everything in my refrigerator to make this dish so just decided to keep the name simple.

    What I failed to understand until after I mixed all the ingredients together, was that in doing so, the photograph that I took afterward was not going to do the salad justice. I should have taken the photo before I added the lime juice and Veganese dressing, but what the heck, live and learn, right! That's what life is all about and being that this is a new blog, I have a lot to learn still and I'm not ashamed to admit that. Thank you for bearing with me along the way.

    What I loved about this salad was that the jicama made it a little crunchy, the jalapeño made it a bit hot, the avocado made it extremely creamy and the oranges made it a little sweet. Add it all together and you get my 10-Minute Summer Jicama Salad. Enjoy and see you in the kitchen!
