REFRESHING SWEET AND SPICY JICAMA SALAD (VEGAN)



Refreshing Sweet and Spicy Jicama Salad (Vegan) image

I made this as a side dish with some grilled basil chicken and spicy Italian chicken sausages; it was perfect! If you don't like spicy food, just cut back on the Thai chiles. My boyfriend and I loved it!

I served these at a party and everyone went wild! These delicious morsels have a crispy flaky outside filled with creamy sweet crab that has a little kick. I used scalloped-edge cookie cutters to cut my pastry, but you can use a small biscuit cutter. -Vanessa Mason, Summerdale, Alabama
