10814 Marinated Mango and Jicama Salad 20 mins 5 mins 6 to 8 servings Wed Jun 17 00:47:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 17:43:43 -0700 2009 Easy Mexican CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/10814 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 00:43:43 GMT Light and fresh with a nice kick of heat Tossed with lime juice, mint, and cayenne for a sweet, spicy, refreshing salad. One of my fondest street food memories from growing up in Los Angeles is getting mango on a stick with a squeeze of lime and a pinch of chile powder. This salad pays homage to that sweet, salty treat but is bolstered by the addition of jicama for crunch and mint for some freshness. Serve this up for a sweet snack, as part of a brunch spread, or even alongside some grilled fish for a change of pace.

Game plan: You can make this salad up to 1 day —just leave out the mint leaves and mix them in right before serving.
