Jicama, Avocado & Blueberry Lime-Herb Salad

My Jicama Avocado Blueberry Lime Herb Salad Recipe is the perfect zesty dish to enjoy as an appetizer to your Cinco De Mayo meal or as a colorful side dish!

Jicama is also rich in potassium and inulin, which is a pre-biotic that feeds and balances healthy gut bacteria.
