Jicama slaw

When shopping in a different grocery store, I often see produce that I pass by in other stores.  I saw some Jicama over the weekend and decided it would be good in a salad….

Ingredients

  • 1 jicama, peeled and julienned, or cut into thin match sticks
  • 3/4 cup Napa cabbage, shredded or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 1-2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/3-1/2 cup cilantro, sliced (to taste)

Dressing

  • 2 canned chipotle peppers with sauce, finely chopped
  • 2 tbs honey
  • Juice from 1 1/2 to 2 limes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 -1/3 cup olive oil

Putting it all together

  1. Chop all the vegetables and combine in a bowl large enough to easily toss with the dressing.
  2. Wisk the dressing in a small bowl just to combine.
  3. Pour dressing over the vegetables and mix until thoroughly combined.
  4. Taste and adjust for seasoning, adding more lime, chipotle peppers, or salt.
