The jicama and chayote squash are new to me. I love trying new things. Bet I like it too since I love the other ingredients.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary!

DeleteI loved jicama as a produce clerk to see the people say JEE-CAMA and be wrong.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Adam, you are too funny!
DeleteOh that's funny.
DeleteI don't normally stay from squash, and I've tried jicama, but this looks and sounds pretty tasty. Thanks for reminding me I need to be eating more veggies too, Mary!(lol) Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteI love looking up new recipes and trying them.
DeleteThis sounds different. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteIt was different but really good.
DeleteDefinitely trying this one, I love both cilantro and avocado!
ReplyDeleteOh so do I.
DeleteI've never heard of that squash. I bought a jicama once and had trouble slicing it up. Maybe it wasn't ripe?
ReplyDeleteYou have to peel off the outer skin and it's hard to cut up. It's best when sliced super thin.
DeleteOh, I'll bet the Dad would like that one!
ReplyDeleteI hope he tries it then.
DeleteI don't know what jicama is but it looks good
ReplyDeleteJicama is a root vegetable.
DeleteI am going to have to google the jicama and chayote. I wonder what the closest I'll be able to find over here will be?
ReplyDeleteI think the closest in terms of taste would be coconut and zucchini.
DeleteI've tried jicama "tortillas" before and enjoyed, do they have it at normal grocery stores? I'm going to have to check next time I go!
