Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized (about 1 pound) jicama
• 1 medium-sized green apple
• 1 medium-sized red apple
• 1 large carrot
• 0.5 head red cabbage
• 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 1 large (juiced) lime
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips or julienne it using a mandoline slicer. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Core the green apple and red apple, leaving the skin on for color and texture. Julienne the apples and add them to the bowl with the jicama.

Step 3

Peel the carrot and shred it using a box grater or food processor. Add the shredded carrot to the bowl.

Step 4

Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then finely shred or thinly slice half the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline. Add the cabbage to the large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl with the other vegetables and fruit.

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the jicama, apple, and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until well coated and evenly mixed.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Serve the Jicama Apple Slaw chilled as a side dish or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or grilled proteins.
