Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 pound jícama (available at specialty produce markets and many supermarkets), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch-thick sticks

2 scallions, minced

Preparation

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice, the salt, the chili powder, and the cayenne and add the jícama, tossing it to coat it well with the dressing.
