Mango Jicama Salad

This delicious salad is like a party in your mouth. The sweetness of the blueberries and mangoes balances out the blandness of the jicama and the spicyness of the chile powder. Just a warning, though--it takes forever to chop up the mango and jicama into thin strips! I think if I ever make this again, I'll just cube everything (and it will be easier to eat, too). I think it tastes better with more lime juice and less chile powder (this is reflected in the recipe below).

Recipe originally from Whipped the Blog.

1 mango, peeled and cut in slices
1 jicama, peeled and cut in 1/4 inch strips
1/2 cup of blueberries
Juice of 1 lime (6 Tablespoons)
1 teaspoon chile powder (mild or spicy, whichever you prefer)
1/4 cup chopped, fresh cilantro
Sea salt

Put the mango, jicama and blueberries in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine lime juice and chili powder. Drizzle the dressing over the fruit. Sprinkle the cilantro on top. Gently toss together and season with sea salt to taste.
