Fiesta Coleslaw With Mango and Jicama

Submitted by EdsGirlAngie

"This is a colorful and delicious "slaw" with lots of interesting tastes and textures. I especially like the addition of "pepitas", or shelled pumpkin seeds. Serve with fried or baked corn tortilla strips. This recipe is originally from The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas."
