Jicama, Tomato, and Black Bean Salad

posted by Annie

My apartment gets very very hot in the summer time. So I avoid using the oven as much as possible. It’s sort of in the summer that I become a raw foodist, because I just don’t want to cook.

This was a great salad to make. I highly recommend bringing it to a party. People will love the crunch of the jicama and the tang of the lime juice. I got this from The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook: 200 Delicious Recipes Ready in 30 Minutes or Less.
