I have to admit that I was skeptical of this recipe because it is so different from your typical cole slaw. However it tastes wonderful! It is creamy savory and It would go great with barbecue or a lighter dish (I had mine with shrimp). Plus the small amount of calories and 6 grams of fiber per serving gives me way less guild that any typical cole slaw. I did add a little red onion. Also the jicama is pretty juicy so I squeezed out the excess water and then let it sit in a strainer for 5 minutes before adding it. I will definitely make this again! Read More
