Jicama Slaw

The light, sweet flavor and crunchy texture of Jicama make a perfect slaw for fish tacos or a simple side salad. No thick, creamy dressing here. We added fresh lime juice to give it a little tang.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded jicama
  • 6 green scallions chopped
  • 1 large lime juiced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • Salt/pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel the jicama and slice in half. 
  • Using a box grater or mandoline, shred enough of the jicama to measure 2 cups, place into a bowl and add the chopped scallions, cumin and lime juice. 
  • Toss to combine, add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 6 hours.

Notes

  • Wrap any unused jicama in plastic film and store in the refrigerator.
  • This simple, crunchy slaw is light and will not over power the flavors in our fish tacos. Jicama is a versatile vegetable and our slaw can easily include different components to compliment what it will be used for.
