Jicama, Pineapple, and Fresh Mint Salad
 
Prep time
Total time
 
The combination of crisp jicama, sweet pineapple, tart lime juice, and cool mint make a tropical salad that smells as refreshing as it tastes. It’s great for grilling out or potluck barbecues and can be made up to 24 hours in advance. (Chop the fresh mint and add to the salad just before serving.)
