This black bean, radish, jicama, and avocado salad is a simple side salad full of fresh flavors.
My sister and I made this black bean, radish, jicama and avocado salad the other night and as we were throwing it together we fell in love with it. This salad has great texture thanks to the radishes, jicama and corn. I have included my basic balsamic dressing recipe that I use a lot, but you could really use almost any dressing in this salad so feel free to be creative! We ate this alongside enchiladas and it was a match made in heaven. I hope you enjoy this salad as much as we did!

3. In a separate bowl combine minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and salt and pepper to taste. I normally put all ingredients in a small mason jar and shake it up to mix, or you can simply whisk the dressing together in a bowl.

I was looking for a way to use the jicama I picked up at the store this week. Came across this recipe. So easy to make and it’s a fun change from my regular dinner salad.
Ingredients
All of my favourite things in one bowl and the balsamic dressing is just perfect. I love healthy salads like this.
Thanks Beth!
