Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups peeled, julienned jicama
1 cup, peeled, julienned carrots
1 cup shredded napa cabbage
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup julienned English cucumber
1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • In a small mixing bowl add lime juice, chili flakes, rice wine vinegar, sugar, and extra-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
  • Combine the jicama, carrots, cabbage and onion, cucumber, red pepper and cilantro in large bowl and toss.
  • Add dressing to vegetables and let sit for 15 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the jicama and cabbage thinly. This will help the slaw absorb the dressing more easily.
  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a food processor fitted with the slicing blade. Just be careful not to over-process the vegetables, or they will become mushy.
  • Be sure to rinse the jicama and cabbage thoroughly before slicing. This will help remove any dirt or debris.
  • For a spicier slaw, use more jalapeño peppers in the dressing. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeño peppers from the dressing. You can also use a mild chili pepper, such as a poblano pepper, instead.

Conclusion:

Jicama slaw with jalapeño dressing is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and picnics. It is also a healthy and nutritious way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The jicama and cabbage are both low in calories and fat, and they are packed with vitamins and minerals.
