Fresh, crunchy, and flavorful, this salad is fantastic as is or topped with grilled shrimp or chicken—and it’s ready in just 25 minutes. Jicama—a sweet, juicy tuber—is a versatile Latin American ingredient that’s often used to add crunch in a variety of dishes. If mangoes aren’t in season, substitute diced papaya or pineapple. The chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add a wonderful smokiness to this salad, but you can use less if you prefer a milder dish. On the other hand, you can amp up the heat by adding in some sliced habanero peppers, which pair particularly well with mangoes and other tropical fruits.
