Tips:

  • Choose the right jicama. Look for a jicama that is firm and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid jicamas that are soft or have any bruises or cracks.
  • Peel and slice the jicama thinly. This will help it to absorb the flavors of the dressing and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a variety of fruits and vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your slaw.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the slaw chilled. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
