Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to thinly slice the jicama and cabbage. This will help the slaw to be more crisp and refreshing.
  • 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.
  • Add other vegetables to the slaw, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or radishes. This will add more color and flavor to the dish.
  • Use a light and tangy dressing for the slaw. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a good option. You can also add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to the dressing for a touch of sweetness.
  • Serve the slaw immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Jicama slaw is a refreshing and healthy side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is also a great way to use up leftover jicama. With its crunchy texture and tangy dressing, this slaw is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
