This colorful salad mixes the smoky flavor of grilled corn with the crunchy texture of jicama and the sweet taste of mango. Jicama, a crunchy, slightly-sweet root vegetable, cools down this spicy Mexican dish. Use a paring knife or vegetable peeler to peel jicama's thin, brown skin. You can try cutting back on the oil a bit by mashing some of the mango. Make this recipe ahead and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This dish is perfect to take to a potluck event or serve with grilled chicken or steak for a delicious weeknight supper.
