Refreshing Blackberry Watermelon Salad with Jicama
Try This Cool, Sweet and Crunchy Salad at Your Next Barbecue
We love this salad. It's cool and sweet, crunchy and juicy. It's a terrific compliment to any summer barbecue or backyard party. Fresh lime juice enhances the natural sweetness of the summer fruits. And the jicama is a crunchy surprise.
If you are in a rush and wanting to cut some corners, we recommend buying precut watermelon and jicama. You can also easily turn this into a fun vegan salad cup by scooping some of the salad into butter lettuce cups.
We ate this salad after a long, hot day of working hard on the blog and found it was as refreshing and delicious as we'd hoped it would be. It made a great end to the day.
