I love the combination of mint and citrus. I didn't have marmalade on-hand so I added some orange zest and a bit of honey. I wasn't able to make it in advance, but as the the jicama quickly absorbed the other flavors the salad didn't require melding time, and it had a nice texture as well. I don't buy jicama often but salads like this are an encouragement to experiment with it more. I served it alongside CL Chicken, Mushroom and Gruyere Quesadillas.
