Arugula And Jicama Salad

We just had a simple but delicious arugula salad for lunch today.  My husband and I love arugula.  It is always the main ingredient in our tossed salad.  Besides arugula, there were also Jicama, pine nuts, orange, and blueberries in this salad. Jicama is a root vegetable.  It doesn't look so appealing as it has a very rough skin on the outside.  Don't judge by the look.  It is a fabulous and tasty root vegetable.  I love its sweet and crunchy taste.  It goes well with either vegetable or fruit salad. Remember, the skin of the jicama has to be removed before you eat it.
