WHITE BALSAMIC-JICAMA SLAW

Provided by Rebecca Rather

Categories     Side     Fourth of July     Picnic     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Mayonnaise     Dried Fruit     Apple     Carrot     Summer     Cabbage     Green Onion/Scallion     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

Salad
1 medium head napa cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3 medium carrots, grated on the large holes
1 large jicama (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into large matchsticks
1 bunch chopped green onions, white part only
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into large matchsticks
3/4 cup dried currants or dried cranberries
White Balsamic Dressing
3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 medium lime)
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fennel seeds

Steps:

  • To Make the Salad:
  • Trim off the cabbage's root end, thinly slice crosswise, then chop into pieces that can be easily picked up with a fork. Combine the cabbage, carrots, jicama, green onions, apples, and dried currants in a large bowl.
  • To Make the Dressing:
  • Vigorously whisk together the garlic, lime juice, honey, oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl until the dressing is thoroughly combined. Whisk in the fennel seeds and pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Stir until the dressing evenly covers the slaw. The slaw will be a little soupy, which is just the way I like it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
  • Tip
  • Instead of by hand, you can mix the dressing in a food processor fitted with the metal blade, which will save you the hassle of chopping up garlic (you add it whole). You cannot, however, escape the slight hassle of peeling off the papery skin and slicing off the tips of each clove.
  • Variation
  • For those who plan to wear their summer shorts short, you can lighten the dressing: for the 1 cup mayonnaise, substitute 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise plus 3/4 cup nonfat or low-fat yogurt.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a mandoline or food processor to thinly slice the napa cabbage and jicama.
  • If you don't have rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • For a spicier slaw, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a serrano pepper.
  • For a sweeter slaw, add a tablespoon of honey or agave nectar.
  • Garnish the slaw with chopped cilantro or green onions before serving.

Conclusion:

This Napa Cabbage and Jicama Slaw is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and crunchy, with a slightly sweet and tangy dressing. The slaw is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this Napa Cabbage and Jicama Slaw a try!
