    I love jicama.  Jicama is a root vegetable that resembles a turnip but tastes more like a not-so-sweet apple.  It's often called  the "Mexican Potato" and can be served raw or cooked.  It's known for it's crunchy texture and light taste.  Jicama has no fat naturally and is packed with Vitamin C, fiber and is low in calorie.   In this recipe I use raw jicama.  I just love the crunch!

    I also LOVE pomegranates.  They are loaded with vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins C, A, B6, E, Potassium, Iron and Phosphorus.   Pomegranates have also become popular due to their abundant antioxidants, which fight those pesky free radicals and help lower cholesterol and prevent diseases.  I have deseeded a pomegranate before, but it was pretty messy and now they sell the seeds on their own 🙂  With the flaxseed in the dressing, you get even MORE fiber and antioxidants! (Feel free to add more flax, I just used 1 tablespoon as a benchmark).
