Sweet Lemon-Jicama Slaw (Ww) image

This crunchy, refreshing, citrusy slaw features jicama, a Mexican root vegetable with a texture similar to a water chestnut. I love using jicama in slaw and salad recipes -- it adds additional fiber to the mix, and it picks up whatever flavors you're using, whether sweet or spicy. You can find jicamas in your grocery produce section, with the other 'exotic' vegetables or go to a specialty Hispanic market. From "WW 5-Ingredient-15 Minute Recipes" and = 1 point.
