Directions

Step 1

Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Place the strips in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the mixing bowl along with the chopped cilantro.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and honey. If using tajín seasoning, add it to the dressing as well for extra flavor.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, tossing gently to combine and coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or bowl and garnish with additional cilantro or a sprinkle of tajín seasoning if desired.
