Clean Eating Spicy Jicama Salad Recipe

This clean eating spicy jicama salad makes a delicious side dish with kick!

So the sunny months are upon us here in Northern California. We still have cool evenings, but the days are nice and shiny. This time of year is second only to Autumn on my list of favorites. I love that balance of sun and coolness. Now if only I could find a place to live where the summers are like that all the time! I love that cool down at night. There’s nothing quite like it.

But now that we’re seeing sunshine again, it’s got me thinking about grilling season. My barbecue broke in our last move so I have to buy a new one this year and I’ve decided to build a DIY outdoor kitchen with the new barbecue, some cinder blocks and the leftover counter top from what I had installed in my kitchen.

So now I have all sorts of delicious meals planned and this side dish seems like it would be perfectly paired with most of them. I can’t wait to get my kitchen set up outside! Oh, and a stock tank pool. That too.

Yep, this should be a fun summer!!
