- 3 tablespoons Lime juice

Instructions
Peel the jicama using a vegetable peeler, then cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips or julienne.
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips to match the jicama.
Remove the seeds and core from the red bell pepper, then cut it into thin strips.
Finely shred the red cabbage and measure out 1 cup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jicama, carrots, red bell pepper, red cabbage, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss well to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated.
