While you might be familiar with pineapple and mango salsa, have you considered adding jicama? This root vegetable is the root of a plant that produces beans similar to lima beans, but aren’t edible. It needs warm weather to thrive, is juicy, and crunchy offering a sweet yet nutty flavour and excellent when added to salsa.

Mango pineapple salsa with jicama has many faces; sweet and crunchy, a star on a tortilla chip; delightful as a topping for grilled fish or seafood; on its own as a side a la chopped salad.
