Kicked-Up Jicama Slaw

Submitted by Galley Wench

"This is my version of Bobby Flay's Jicama Slaw. The addition of jicama to slaw gives it a very nice crunch! I've also added 'spice' to this slaw by adding a little shredded poblano pepper. Goes great on Carolina BBQ or Shrimp Tacos."

This was a wonderful salad and very different from the kind of slaw I usually make. I used one bag of shredded cabbage for slaw, one jalapeno chile (because that's what I had on hand) and about 1/3 C olive oil (personal preference). This made a huge amount, so next time I plan to cut it in half. Thanks so much for posting!
