Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Jalapeno pepper finely diced (seeds optional*)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small jicama, peeled and julienned
  • ¼ small red or green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, lime juice, green onions, jalapeño, and salt. Whisk together to combine.
  2. In a large bowl, add the jicama, cabbage, and cilantro.
  3. Add the dressing and toss together to combine. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Make it spicy by leaving in the seeds of the jalapeno and even adding an extra diced jalapeño to really kick up the heat.
  • If using red cabbage, keep in mind that the color of the cabbage will start to release and turn the slaw a little pink the longer it sits. The flavors will still be the same but the color will start to change.
  • The creamy base of the slaw can easily be adjusted. Swap out regular mayonnaise for a plant-based alternative to make this slaw recipe vegan. You can also use plain Greek yogurt as a lighter option.
