Recipe

Imagine the ultimate refreshing bite: crisp jicama ribbons that snap like apples, juicy-sweet mango, a kick of lime, and just enough chili heat to wake up your taste buds. This Mexican-inspired salad is basically sunshine on a plate — perfect for taco night, pool parties, or when you just want something light that still feels like a treat.

The secret to that addictive texture? Paper-thin, uniform shreds that soak up dressing without getting soggy. A quick crank with the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater turns jicama and mango into gorgeous ribbons in seconds — no knife skills required.

🥗Ingredients (Serves 4–6 as a side)

1 large jicama, peeled

2 ripe mangos (not too soft)

1 small red onion

1–2 jalapeños or Fresno chilies (seeds removed if you want mild)

Juice of 3 limes

2 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp chili powder or Tajín

Big handful fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Optional crunch: toasted pumpkin seeds or crushed with Geedel

🥒Step-by-Step: Salad in 4 Easy Moves

1. Shred the Stars

Lock your vegetable chopper onto the counter. Use the coarse shred blade for jicama (gives perfect crisp ribbons) and the fine shred blade for mango and red onion (silky and delicate). The suction base keeps everything steady — no chasing the grater around!

2. Slice the Heat

Hand-slice or use the Geedel slicing blade for paper-thin jalapeño rings — pretty and spicy!

3. Dress It Up

In a large bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss in all the shredded goodness. Taste and adjust — want more zing? Extra lime.

4. Finish & Serve

Fold in cilantro and optional crushed pumpkin seeds. Pile high on a platter or into glasses for the cutest individual servings. Serve chilled — it gets even better after 15 minutes in the fridge.
