Jicama Salad

I think the best gifts make you feel like the giver REALLY KNOWS you, and the worst gifts make you wonder who in the hell the giver thinks you are.

Some might think the gift of a giant jicama is a little strange, but my SIL Tiff knows how much I love jicama, so this was a welcome surprise.

I brought it all the way home from Phoenix and crafted this tasty salad.

Jicama Salad

1 extremely large jicama, or 2 medium

2 cups frozen corn, thawed

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup ranch dressing

2 T barbecue sauce

2 T vinegar (apple cider, red wine...something light colored)

cilantro and Ranchero (queso fresco) cheese for garnish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together ranch, BBQ, and vinegar. Add corn, beans, and peeled and diced jicama. Garnish with fresh cilantro and crumbled Mexican cheese.
