Stay tuned for an amazing Meatless Monday link up co-hosted by myself and Tina Muir starting in September. We hope you’ll link up with us then.
I’m loving all the great corn and tomatoes this summer so I whipped up this easy salad with some of my favorite ingredients. Hope you like it! I’ve used fresh corn but if you can’t subbing with frozen should work as well. The jicama adds a nice crunch and flavor. Tip: They will cut and dice a jicama for you at Whole Foods for no charge.
The jalapeno cilantro vinegarette is so good and can be used on just about any salad. Vegetarian, Vegan & GF Enjoy!

Now that would be fun!
Salad looks very refreshing for a hot summer day. I’ll have to try that dressing. My oil and vinegar is getting old.

It is a great change from oil & vinegar. I like a little spice
I love jicama, and this salad sounds delish…but I”m not a fan of edamame. I’d probably just leave it out or substitute black beans.

Black beans are a great sub and one of my go to’s as well. Hope you give it try
This sounds great! I have a similar salad I make with black beans instead of edamame so I’d love to give this one a try with the edamame.

So glad you are enjoying them!
I love jicama! It’s a really good addition to a summer salad. I’ve been making similar “salads” this whole summer – these combos are perfect for the hot months. I never thought to add edamame, though. Great idea for even more protein!
