Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Jicama is a large bulb-shaped root vegetable native to Mexico and South America. Underneath its thin dry brown skin, jicama's color and texture is somewhere between that of a crisp apple and a water chestnut. With its mildly sweet flavor and crunch, it works like celery iin salads, sandwich fillings and soups.
  • tip 2
    To reduce the fat in each serving of this tuna salad by about 19 grams, use fat-free ranch salad dressing.
  • tip 3
    To save prep work and time, pick up a bag of coarsely shredded carrots from the produce department of the grocery store.
