Directions
Step 1
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips. Place the strips in a large mixing bowl.

Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the mixing bowl along with the chopped cilantro.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili powder, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and honey. If using tajín seasoning, add it to the dressing as well for extra flavor.
