Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 1 pound) Jicama
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 cup, thinly sliced Red cabbage
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips or shred it using a box grater.
Core the Granny Smith apple and cut it into matchstick-sized strips as well. For best results, leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Peel and grate the carrot, or cut it into thin strips similar in size to the jicama and apple.
Thinly slice the red cabbage and measure out 1 cup. Add it to the prepared jicama, apple, and carrot in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the cilantro and mix it into the bowl with the vegetables and fruit.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss everything thoroughly to ensure the dressing evenly coats all ingredients.
Serve immediately for a crisp texture, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Toss again just before serving.
