I first stumbled across this Avocado Jicama Cucumber Salad when my husband and I were having dinner and watching one of our favorite Texas country artists play at The Rustic, a ‘country’ restaurant in the heart of uptown Dallas. I say ‘country’ because the only thing rustic about The Rustic is it’s home-style(ish) type of food and décor, both of which are still more on the uptown side things than they probably care to admit, though they’re as rustic as many uptowners are willing to patronize.
But nonetheless they have delicious food, and when I saw the avocado salad on the menu, I knew I had to have it! It did not disappoint, leading me to make a recreation for all of you! Because I would never keep such a glorious dish from y’all! That would just be rude.
So load up on avocados, make this Avocado Jicama Cucumber Salad, and enjoy the fruits of your not-labor because you are in for the best salad of your life!

Love this recipe? PIN it!
I’m making this recipe and I love all the ingredients accept cilantro ( I love Mexican food and have tried really hard to acquire a taste for it but I can’t though I can stand a small amount in Pico). Would it be okay to leave it out or substitute it?
Hi Leah,
I think you could leave it out and be just fine. Some fresh mint might be nice if you like that!
I love the Rustic’s avacado salad get it every time, but there is another fresh herb that they have in the salad besides cilantro that I just can’t seem to figure out.
I haven’t been back in years. I’ll have to go next time I’m in Dallas and see if I can figure it out!
OMG – this salad is delicious – easy to make and an excellent side dish – love it!!!
Hi Dora, I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. We made the jicima avocado and cucumber salad, but without the lime: instead I also cut in pineapple.
The pineapple sounds great! Thanks for stopping by!
Such a beautiful recipe, and right in time for Memorial Day! I love it!
Thanks, Liz!
Such a perfect texture combo with the creamy avo and crunchy jicama! Love!
Agree! Thanks, Rebecca!
