Baja Strawberry Salad is a refreshing and healthy lunch option that is perfect for hot summer days. This salad is a Tex-Mex twist on a classic fruit salad, with the addition of jicama and red bell pepper to give it a crunchy texture and a hint of spice.

3.	Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
4.	Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.
