This recipe proves that a balanced salad of protein, fiber, and healthy fats can be delicious — with a Mexican-inspired jalapeño and lime marinade to add extra flavor.

The unsaturated fat from the avocado also aids nutrient absorption, while the crunchy jicama gives a boost of prebiotic fiber, helping the salad pull extra nutritional weight.

If you can’t find jicama, try substituting with Jerusalem artichoke, daikon radish, or water chestnuts for a similar, subtly sweet crunch.
