Vicki's Watermelon Salad
Note: Jicama is a round root vegetable that should be peeled before dicing.  It has a white, sweet, crunchy flesh that is nice added to green salads, and it tastes very good with fruit as well.
Mix:
  one cup jicama, diced (I cut it on the bias to make little diamonds)
  two cups watermelon, also diced (and also on the bias, if desired)
Toss to mix.
Dressing - add all to a blender or cuisinart:
  1/4 cup olive oil
  2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  half a jalepeno, de-seeded and coarsely chopped up
  a generous handful of cilantro
  about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Blend dressing well, until no obvious chunks of jalepeno remain; add to jicama/watermelon mix, toss to blend.  Chill for two hours before serving.
Serve it up!  I think some toasted walnuts or pecans on top would be beautiful.  Possibly even some feta cheese.  It's great with mexican food, but would probably be good with tabbouli/falafel, too.  Enjoy!
