Ingredients

• 1 large (about 1.5 pounds) jicama
• 2 medium carrot
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup (chopped) cilantro leaves
• 2 stalks green onion
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 finely minced (optional, for heat) optional add-in: jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

Peel the jicama and cut it into thin matchstick-sized strips using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and julienne the carrots, then add them to the bowl with the jicama.

Step 3

Remove the seeds and stem from the red bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips. Add to the bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the cilantro leaves and slice the green onions into thin rounds. Add both to the bowl with the vegetables.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well combined and slightly emulsified.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 7

If using jalapeño for a bit of heat, stir it in at this stage, adjusting the quantity to preference.

Step 8

Refrigerate the slaw for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Give the slaw one final toss before serving and enjoy as a side dish, taco topping, or refreshing salad.
