Jicama Salad
By GadgetGirl
In this salad, a popular dish at Los Angeles’s Bar Amá, the combination of jicama and apple results in a light, refreshing salad that pairs well with the restaurant’s richer dishes, like their chalupas and taquitos (see related recipes at left). If you’re unable to find espelette pepper, paprika makes a good substitute.
