I’ve adapted these jicama sticks with mango basil sauce from my friend Heather Nicholds.
A former commercial pilot and flight instructor in Canada, Heather studied to become a holistic nutritionist after experimenting with raw and vegan foods in an effort to regain her health. During her journey, she developed a passion for environmental issues, and gives 5% of the profits of all of her programs to charity.
Heather offers online meal plans, cleanse programs, cooking classes, and nutrition consultations to help people achieve their wellness goals.
She also has some delicious easy recipes on her site.
These jicama sticks with mango basil sauce that Heather shared on YouTube is super easy, light, and bursting with fresh flavors. Tweak the lime juice, chile, and salt to taste. I like julienning my jicama for gorgeous presentation. But, if you’re in a hurry, you can easily shred the jicama in your food processor.
Enjoy!

Gorgeous looking salad. I’m learning to love jicama–this recipe might just do it for me!
Ricki, this recipe WILL do it for you. SO yummy 🙂
You can enjoy it on it’s own, or it makes a fabulous side dish.
Yes! I ate the whole plate on it’s own 🙂
Simple and absolutely delicious. A summer must I think. I am going to try it with some grilled fish (for those of us who eat seafood!).
Wonderful! This would be fantastic with fish. Enjoy 🙂
yes, it’s fantastic in the summer! still nice through the winter if you feel like a light meal, and definitely add the tahini – healthy fats are always a good way to keep your body warm 🙂
Love Heather. Love Tess! Love to see collaboration!
