I cannot believe how grown up Ryan has gotten and how much the baby looks like him. :-)

when I was a kid (long time ago) we use to eat slices of raw potatoes, and thats what it remind me of.
I have actually slice it with other veggies and used a dip and ate them.
I think a salsa would be nice too. Need to buy another one.

Ryan is a little man, and such a sweet boy! So adorable to see him and his little brother interact.
I think I bought jicama once, and it reminded me of celery and cabbage, I couldn’t figure it out either. I wasn’t sure if I liked the taste either, didn’t do much for me. But I could see it tasting good in some kind of cold slaw or salad.

We LOVE jicama at this house too! I like it with lemon juice, a little salt, and some mexican fruit spice. I also second Liz’s suggestion to make a fruit salad/salsa out of it.
It’s a great way to bulk up a summer salad.

I have an WW recipe that is a salad that has jicama, mango, chicken, red onion and cilantro. It is so yummy and super filling. The dressing is lime juice, cumin, hot sauce, and olive oil. I bring it a lot to summer things because it has no mayo and it’s usually a hit.

I also like to eat it just like carrots and think its a great addition to any salad.

Kind of a cross between a lot of things, but it sort of reminds me of the vegetable version of an Asian pear. I like it, but don’t buy it often because they are usually super huge and nobody else here really digs it. I bet you could go savory or sweet with it…like perhaps use it like you would water chestnuts even.
