NOTES : Crisp and tangy Jicama and Citrus Salad makes a refreshing addition

to a spicy meal. Jicama, a crunchy and slightly sweet root vegetable

commonly used in Mexican cooking, is available in the produce department of

most supermarkets. In place of the oranges, you can use melon, mango or

papaya. Or, you can substitute lime juice for the orange and lemon juice,

and chili powder can be sprinkled instead of paprika.
