We mixed it all up together with the jicama (plastic bowl with airtight lid allowed me to mix by shaking) and left it in the fridge overnight. The next morning there was more shaking until it was ready to serve. I halved some golden cherry tomatoes and roughly chopped a big bunch of cilantro. Canned pineapple rings were grilled until dark grill marks appeared on both sides and a few grapefruit pieces were added for good measure. Tossed all together it made a slightly tart but very satisfying salad Nina

How did you make your marinated jicama, if you can disclose? The menu sounds great, and like a lovely gift to your sister. How did you make your marinated jicama, if you can disclose?
