Recipe FAQs

→ How do I slice the jicama and cucumber evenly?

Using a sharp knife or mandoline ensures thin, uniform slices, which help create a neat stack and consistent texture.

→ Can I substitute the chili powder in the dressing?

Yes, Tajín seasoning or smoked paprika works well to add a tangy or smoky kick to the dressing.

→ Is it better to serve this dish immediately or chilled?

Serving immediately preserves the crispness of the vegetables, but chilling briefly can enhance the refreshing qualities.

→ What are good garnishes to complement the flavors?

Fresh cilantro adds brightness while toasted sesame seeds contribute a subtle nuttiness and crunch.

→ Can this dish be prepared ahead of time?

For best texture, slice and stack just before serving; preparing dressing and chopping garnishes in advance saves time.
