In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, honey and salt. Add the jicama, carrots, apple and sesame seeds. Toss well to coat everything in the dressing.

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon honey, such as wildflower
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large jicama (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
1 Honeycrisp apple, cut into thin matchsticks
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

FENNEL-JICAMA SALAD
