I'm not loving BigOven, but it'll do until I write my own program.

Jicama-Carrot Salad

This is a simple salad with a bright, fresh taste. Leave the olive
oil out and it's even lighter in flavor and (obviously) in fat.

Recipe By: Serene Vannoy
Serving Size: 4
Cuisine: Uncategorized
Main Ingredient: Jicama
Categories: Vegetarian, Vegan, Meatless, Low Fat, Summer, Picnics,

Juice of 1 lemon

Place the juice from a lemon into a medium bowl. As you slice the
