In the early 1990s, Sue Cafferty added jicama to a 1970s recipe and created a family favorite. We can easily imagine eating this by the plateful. Prep and Cook Time: 40 minutes.

 1/2 pound carrots
 1/2 pound jicama
 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (optional)

Trim and discard ends of zucchini. Cut zucchini into 3- to 4-in. lengths. Cut each length into 1/4- to 1/2-in.-thick matchsticks; set aside. Peel carrots and cut same way as zucchini; set aside. Peel jicama and cut in half. Set halves, cut side down, on a cutting board and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-in.-thick slices. Stack 3 or 4 slices and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-in.-thick matchsticks; set aside.
