At first glance, these look like traditional ham and cheese sandwiches, but instead of bread, they use crisp jicama, a Mexican vegetable similar to a turnip. This sandwich is low in carbs and rich in healthy fiber. You won't even remember the bread: every bite offers a winning combination of salty ham, tangy horseradish, and peppery arugula. A great idea for a healthy snack throughout the day, or for light appetizers at a house party.
