Jicama Slaw

So, in my ongoing challenge to try more vegetables (and more kinds of food in general), I picked up a jicama the other day.  Not knowing what to do with it, I went online and found this recipe, which I basically followed.

Recipe:
1 Cucumber
1 Jicama
1 tablespoon Honey
2 tablespoons fresh Lime Juice (or 1/2 teaspoon True Lime and 2 tablespoons water)
Sea Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Cut cucumber into 3 inch lengths, cut sections in half and scrape seeds out with a spoon.  Slice thinly, lengthwise then cut into matchsticks.  Peel jicama, slice thinly, then cut into matchsticks.  Stir together cucumber and jicama slices.
In a separate bowl, stir together honey, lime, chili powder, dijon mustard, and salt.  Pour over cucumber and jicama and stir to coat.

This was a great, summery tasting salad.  Sweet, cool, a little tart, a little spicy...very good.

Jicama (if, like me, you've never had it before) tastes sort of like a potato, but more sweet and much less starchy.
