Crunchy Cool Jicama Slaw. Refreshing Side Dish. Vegan.

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Sep 13, 2019 · published: Apr 21, 2009 · About 2 minutes to read this article. 3 Comments

My Crunchy Cool Jicama Slaw is the perfect warm weather side dish. It combines flavors of tart lime, thinly sliced jicama, bosc pear, red onion, citrus, maple syrup, creamy Veganaise and lots of fine black pepper. And the best part about this recipe... is that it takes about ten minutes to make. You can eat it immediately or chill in the fridge. ...Oh and it's healthy too. Lots of fiber and vitamin C. The tart flavors will refresh your palate. Jicama facts.

...I taste tested it on a foggy cool day, and it was amazing! But on a hot spring or summer day this salad will knock the sweaty heat right off your brow. It's such a clean crunchy acidic-creamy salad. It won't wilt up like a traditional Cole Slaw recipe can. The jicama has a much heartier crunch than cabbage- yet still tastes lighter than cabbage!
