Directions:
1. Peel the jícama, and slice it into fat matchsticks.
2. Transfer to a bowl, and cover with water and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. Drain.
4. Arrange the jícama on a platter, and sprinkle with lime juice and zest, the chili powder, and if you wish some salt.
5. If you like, serve additional chili powder on the side.
