Instructions for Picardia (Jicama Salad)

Put the chopped jicama in a bowl. Squeeze the limes and pour the juice over the jicama. Mix chopped chiles and mint leaves into jicama and lime juice. Serve on lettuce leaves. >From the book: Shoppers and Mercado Libertad wouldnt think of buying jicama without the tubers leaves attached. "No leaves is the sure sign of age," claims Senora Anguiano at her stall of precisely arranged vegetables, netxt to a three-foot pile of freshlyunearthed jicama,...a large tuber with a sweet taste and the texture of water chestnuts. People of Jalisco eat refreshing jicama often, as a minced salsa ingredient, sliced in green salads, sliced into spear and sprinkled with chile powder, or chopped in picardia. Senora Anguianos daughters, both teenagers, love huge amounts of this low-calorie, delicious, easy-to-prepare salad. Note: probably wont find them with leaves on in the US.
