Jicama, papaya, and potato salad

This Mexican-inspired salad features a tasty mix of flavors and textures. In addition to the jicama, papaya, and potatoes, this salad also includes tomatillos. This green vegetable covered in a papery husk is often thought to be an unripe green tomato, but it is its own distinct vegetable with a bright tang and tartness and a slight bitterness. That flavor is enhanced when the tomatillos go under the high heat of the broiler for a bit. It pairs nicely with sweet papaya, crisp jicama, and the starchy potatoes. This salad does need time to sit—15 minutes to one hour—to let the flavors meld.
