Comments: This salad every day is a useful, enjoyable diet aid. Although its most delicious with its traditional dressing of olive oil and fresh lemon juice, its so good that you can get by with very little dressing, or even, for days after too much feasting, none at all. The salad is at its best if you cut the cucumbers, jicama and tomatoes in small dice, preferably 3/8 inch, but in any case no larger than 1/2 inch.
