This light and refreshing salad is the perfect low carb accompaniment to roast meat or fish. If you haven’t tried jicama before, it’s a Mexican root vegetable that looks a little like a swede, but has the texture of a crisp apple. One cup of cubed jicama contains 5g net carbs – so it’s a pretty useful low carb vegetable!

How to Make Jicama and Strawberry Salad

Peel and dice the jicama, and shred some lettuce leaves.

Add some sliced green onions, and then hull and slice some strawberries. I love my huller tool!

Whisk together some extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt and black pepper, then pour it over the salad.

Oh – and if you live in the US, check out how you can get a bottle of quality EVOO for just $1! It’s such an awesome deal!

Toss to mix and store in the fridge until ready to serve. 

I absolutely love the combination of flavors! I often pair jicama with citrus (like my Jicama Sticks with Lime and Chipotle) but I think that I’ve found a new favorite!
