Jicama, originally from Mexico, can now be found in the US. It is a root vegetable that tastes like a cross between a water chestnut and an apple and a turnip. This recipe is courtesy of Texas Home Cooking by Cheryl and Bill Jameson.
This is a very easy, very nice snack. I made this and served it with fat free sour cream for dipping as a TV snack. Hubby and I both enjoyed the taste and thought it was a welcome change from chips and other high fat things we are trying to stay away from. Thanks for a great idea Miss Annie!

Wonderful addition to an appetizer table! I quartered some oranges and added those to the plate as well. Using about a tablespoon of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of chili powder, I generously sprinkled the whole shebang after hitting it all with fresh lime juice. Everyone loved it especially those who had never eaten jicama before. I'm thinking that next time I will add a pinch or 2 of cayenne pepper with the chili salt. Thanks for the idea! Can't wait to make it again!

This was very good, and something I never would have thought to make on my own. The only change I made was to add the zest of the lime as well. I served this as a side dish to Texas chili Chili (Real Texas Chili).
