My friend M’lissa inspired this recipe when she left a jicama at my house after using the other ½ for appetizers. Tomatoes are abundant in our garden this year, and a tomato salad with crunch? Well, I hope this recipe makes your list of top hits this summer as you look for uses of those abundant tomatoes! BTW – Regular tomatoes work just as well as heirloom.
