Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (about 1.5 pounds) jicama
- 2 medium carrot
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup (chopped) cilantro leaves
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 finely minced (optional, for heat) optional add-in: jalapeño
Instructions
Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and julienne the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the jicama.
Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips. Add to the bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and slice the green onions into thin rounds. Add both to the bowl with the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and slightly emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.
If using jalapeño for a bit of heat, stir it in at this stage, adjusting the quantity to preference.
Refrigerate the slaw for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Give the slaw one final toss before serving and enjoy as a side dish, taco topping, or refreshing salad.
