    Jicama slaw is made with the slightly sweet crunchy root vegetable best known in the cuisines of the Southwestern U.S. Combined with red and white cabbage, it's a lovely addition to everyday meals as well as fall and winter holiday meals. If your local stores don't carry it, ask them to do so! If you can't find it, substitute crisp white turnip. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky.

      Made your jicama coleslaw as a last minute non-starchy side dish for Thanksgiving 2011. Boy and I glad I did! Everyone loved it! Many of my relatives had never heard of jicama, so this was a great way to introduce them to it. Love your recipes! Thanks so much!

      Thanks, AJ! I don't see jicama often enough. It's such a treat, I wish it were available more often. Glad you and your family enjoyed this!
