Mango Jicama Watercress Salad

By Kelly Kaeding | Published: May 2, 2011

Fresh and delicious.

 

1 bunch of watercress, rinse and pull tops off stems

1 ripe mango, use mandoline or coarse grater

¼ jicama, use mandoline or coarse grater

½ bunch cilantro, rinse and chop

1-2 limes

 

Mix watercress, mango, jicama and cilantro in a bowl. Squeeze limes over top.

I used mint instead of cilantro for the salad pictured here.  I prefer cilantro but for those non-cilantro eaters, try the mint.
