Ingredients
Directions
Add all of the slaw ingredients to a medium bowl and toss.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, from the lime juice to the optional salt.
Pour over the slaw ingredients and stir to combine.
Serve as is, or over tacos, inside burritos, on a veggie burger, or as part of a salad. Note that this makes enough jicama slaw for 4 small servings. If you plan to bring this to a gathering, we recommend doubling the recipe.
Chef’s Notes
Substitutions
In place of jicama, try apples, Asian pears, beets, or another crisp fruit or vegetable of your choice.
In place of purple cabbage, try green cabbage.
Whole Food Sweetener
Use date paste instead of maple syrup as a sweetener.
How to Shred the Jicama
First, cut off both nobby ends and peel the jicama. Next, cut it in half lengthwise and shred it using a mandoline. If you don’t have a mandoline, place the cut side down on the cutting board and cut the jicama into matchstick sizes.
Storage
Store jicama slaw in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
