Jicama - Apple Salad

Submitted by Miss Annie in Indy

"This recipe has such a nice crisp texture. Not overly sweet, would make a nice change of pace for coleslaw. I came up with this just experimenting. I think chopped walnuts would also be good in this."

Did use the carrot but opted out when it came to the cayenne pepper ~ I find the combo of jicama, carrot & apple just great! Yet another wonderful way to use jicama! Thanks for a very nice keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Healthy CHoices ABC cooking game]

This has such a nice replacement for cole slaw. I followed the recipe, and found it very easy to make. I served it with cajun spiced fish.
