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.
