Cross-Cultural Jicama Avocado Salad
(This recipe has been archived on the website, but I am keeping the printer-friendly recipe here in case some people were fans of the recipe.)
INGREDIENTS
- zest and juice from one large lime (plus more lime juice for seasoning the finished salad if desired.)
- 2 medium avocados, diced
- 2 cups peeled and diced jicama (cut into half-inch squares)
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion (sliced on the diagonal)
- 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- salt, to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- Zest the skin of the lime and squeeze the juice into a bowl thatโs large enough to hold all the salad ingredients.
- Cut up the avocados into the bowl and toss avocado pieces with the lime juice/zest.
- Peel the jicama and cut it up into half-inch slices. (To make the jicama easier to peel, I slice it into the thickness I want and then peel around the edge of the slices.)
- Toss the jicama cubes into the avocado/lime mixture.
- Cut grape or cherry tomatoes in half until you have 1 cup of halved tomatoes.
- Thinly slice green onions on the diagonal until you have 1/4 cup of green onion slices.
- Crumble enough Feta to make 1/3 cup of crumbled Feta.
- Gently mix the tomatoes, green onion, and Feta into the jicama-avocado mixture.
- Taste to see if you want a little more lime juice, season to taste with salt, and serve.
NOTES
I usually never refrigerate salads with tomatoes, but I was pleasantly surprised that this was still quite good after one night in the refrigerator. (It didnโt last another night though, so donโt refrigerate too long.)

Thank you for this awesome recipe. It was simple to make and tastes delicious. I'm trying to eat healthier every day and I'm surprised I can eat this without pouring salad dressing all over it.
This recipe was so delicious. I can't stop thinking about it, I've made it twice.
I am posting it up on my blog tommorrow, with links to here for the full recipe.
Fantastic, thanks again!
I would definitely be happy eating this for lunch. I'm a big jicama fan – love the crunch!
Barbara, I know that Jicama came originally from Mexico, so I guess it had not made it to Australia!
Joanne, great meeting you too!
It was so great meeting you this weekend Kalyn! What a great way to kick off the return to reality. Delicious!
I have never heard of Jicama so I googled it. Apparently it can sometimes be found in Asian food stores. I also found a site that recommended using baby boab tubers as a substitute. But I've never seen them in the shops either. Although I have seen boab trees in the parks here and driving through the countryside.
