Crisp, refreshing—and patriotic! Speed things up by making fewer jicama stars and using cookie cutters with fat star "arms." (Makes it a whole lot easier to get the jicama back out of the cutter.)

Recipe type: Salads & Salad Dressings
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 personal-size seedless watermelon
  • 1-2 medium jicamas
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp fresh-squeezed lime juice sweetened with agave to taste (optional)
  • 1 handful fresh mint, torn (optional)
Directions
  1. Peel jicama and cut into slices ⅛- to ¼-inch thick.
  2. Use small cookie cutters (get them here or at a craft store) to cut the jicama into stars.
  3. Toss the jicama stars in sweetened lime juice, if using. (Don't worry, the stars won't turn brown if you skip this step—it's for flavor only.)
  4. Chop watermelon into cubes. (Bonus points if you use large cookie cutters to make watermelon stars!)
  5. Add blueberries and fresh mint (if using) to watermelon and jicama just before serving. Toss gently and enjoy!
