This refreshing salad gets a unique crunch from sweet, crisp jicama and delightful root vegetable from South America that's notable for taking on great flavor from dressings while maintaining its texture beautifully. Paired with the carrot and snow peas, this salad is a super win to start a meal or to be topped with grilled chicken or shrimp. The sesame-soy dressing is slightly sweet to please kids and adults alike making it a great option for a quick side dish any day of the week. If you're not a jicama fan, use sliced, canned water chestnuts instead.
