This is a super easy summer side salad that looks as good as it tastes especially when you can get the fresh vegetables. This recipe can be made with or without jicama but it does add a lot to the dish. The pickled onion can be used in many different ways (so make enough to store in the refrigerator) and goes great in this dish.
