  • Replace half of the carrot with grated jicama or apples.
  • For best taste, allow flavors to blend before serving. Let sit 15–20 minutes after you have mixed in the sauce in step 6.
  • Serve as a colorful side dish for fish, poached chicken, or baked or broiled chicken legs.
  • Layer onto a sandwich with lean turkey and fresh veggies like cucumber.
