If you can’t be bothered to make a salad, this (easy!) unusual side from my friend Laura Weinman is the perfect counterpoint to the Chicken Tamale Pie. Or to almost any other main dish…

2 jicamas, cut into match sticks

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoons lime juice

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon sugar

Combine spices and lime juice and mix into jicama.  Very cute if served standing inside a cup.
