guacamole & jicama chips

i'm always trying to sneak veggies into my kids' bellies and jicama is a new one for us. a cross between a mexican yam & turnip, it's innocuous enough, the texture is almost like a crunchy asian pear (less sweet) or raw potato. jicama is high in vitamins A, C and B, along with calcium and phosphorus. pretty nice with guacamole and a fresh tomato salsa. oh fiesta.

look at this cutie...

ingredients:

• 1 jicama, peeled, cut in half, and sliced into bite-size "chips"
• 2 avocados
• 1/2 cup red grape tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 yellow tomatoes, halved
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• handful of cilantro
• 1//4 red onion, finely minced
• *1/2 jalapeno, minced
• 1 lime
• drizzle of evoo
• kosher salt & pepper

preparation:

toss tomatoes, garlic, onion, cilantro in juice of lime, evoo and s&p. *i did not include jalapenos because of my kiddos, but that could be nice... let the veg mingle & marinate a bit, then serve over scooped avocado (seasoned with kosher salt & pepper, squeeze of lime).  serve with jicama chips.
