loved this! didn't have jicama or daikon. used regular radishes. added some finely chopped green onions too. i used my mandolin and finely cut everything. i think the cilantro and lime make the dish. i will make again. thanks for the post serena.

This salad on it's own is ok, but i put it on a spice crusted fish sandwich and it was really good. the recipe made WAY to much for my husband and I so we're going to try freezing some to use on future fish sandwiches. To make the fish sandwich I used cod fillets (tilapia works well too) covered it in flour, then dipped in egg and then dipped in panko with seasoning and then cooked in a pan w oil. I used focacia for the bread.

We enjoyed this refreshing slaw. It's best with plenty of salt and pepper. I also doubled the dressing. I think raisins or dried cranberries would add a lot, because the texture is a little monotonous. I'm not sure I'd make this again unless I had ingredients I needed to use up, but all in all not a bad little salad!

This had to be the most GOSH AWFUL salad I've ever locked my lips around !!! I was SOOOOO looking forward to a salad with jicama and different herbs. Even with the suggestions, I had to spit it out and toss it away -- and I've been known to eat some crappy tasting stuff. This ranks worse than octopus soup or menudo. BLECH !!

Refreshing, nutritious crunchy salad that compliments any meal. The orange and lime marinade top it off. I used lemon and the results were outstanding. Highly recommended. Everyone raved.

I experimented with this a bit more and I found that the addition of lemon flavored olive oil, shredded mint, shredded basil, a minced red chili pepper and more black pepper really livened it up. Give it a try with these alterations!

I also thought this was just ok. I'm not sure it was quite worth the effort - a little bland. I think it is missing something, maybe chopped red onion would liven it up a little?

I thought this recipe was OK, others in my family were more like, "I'll eat it." Mostly it seemed like more trouble than it was worth, what with all that grating...It is better the second day than the first. It didn't have a bad flavor, but just didn't do much for me or my family.

I loved this recipe. I omitted the radish and only had one green apple so I used two pears. Added more lime juice. Rather than grate the ingredients, I just chopped them and it worked out just fine. Definitely a way to clean out the fridge and make a great salad at the same time!
