How to Make Jicama Cilantro Red Cabbage Slaw

  1. Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper in a large bowl to create the dressing.
  2. Add the julienned jicama, shredded red cabbage, chopped cilantro, and optional red onion to the bowl with the dressing.
  3. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, lime juice, or honey to your preference.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the jicama to soften slightly. This step is key for the best flavor!
