Watermelon Jicama Salad

Sweet, spicy, crisp, and refreshing. Forget your usual potluck sides and make this watermelon jicama salad instead! It’s both hydrating and delicious! We love the juicy melon mixed with a slightly spicy dressing. You can control the heat by using less serrano pepper or amp it up by using the seeds and ribs. It may get spicier over time as the peppers marinate in the dressing, so be careful if you’re prepping this ahead of time. Don’t have any jicama? Daikon radish, a green apple, or even a firm pear will work here.
