Jicama Rainbow Salad image

This is a take off from my other Jicama salad #8898 just a few additions to make it more colorful and a little different. It is a "do ahead" salad". It is so handy for company dinners and also busy day dinners. Make sure that your Jicama is very white inside and has no discolored spots outside-they should be a lovely smooth beige color. If you cannot find baby cukes use an English cuke, but remove the seeds. If you wish arrange this salad over fresh lettuce leaves. You may add some shrimp or chicken and serve this as a lunch salad
