Low Carb Jicama Strawberry Cucumber Salad. I have been on a jicama kick lately and this jicama strawberry cucumber salad, with only a hint of sweetness, is about as light and tasty as it sounds.  I have eaten jicama for many years, know a lot of different ways to use it and it is a naturally low carb food. Here are a couple other salads with jicama as an ingredient Saucy Crunchy Peanut Salad and Bacon Almond & Avocado Salad  Might be a good idea to look at  Using Surface Area To Your Advantage as It applied here in reverse. You know how when you wash raw chopped or grated potatoes you need to rinse them well with cold water several times?  Same thing with any vegetable you are able to wash.  Fill a bowl with water, soak the grated or julienned jicama and out will come the starch (carbs). So when you are eating larger chunks of even a low carb vegetable like jicama, you end up with more carbs than you possible want or need to ingest.  I most often juilienne my jicamas now because I put them in lots of other things but make no mistake, if you are able to simply wash away carbs down the drain with cold water and without harming the vegetable in question, why not just do it?
