Mexican Style Slaw

by Cheri Sicard

This spicy slaw is a perfect picnic food (it uses no mayonnaise) and a unique change to traditional cole slaws. Use more or less jalape�o, depending on how spicy you like your foods.

Mexican Style Slaw

1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
1/2 medium jicama, shredded
1 large carrot, shredded
3 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1-2 minced, seeded jalape�os
1/3 C chopped cilantro

Dressing

1/4 C fresh lime juice
1/4 C fresh orange juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Serves 8.

Combine all salad ingredients and mix well. Combine all dressing ingredients and toss well with salad ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve. This slaw gets better if it has a chance to sit for a few hours before serving and it's even good the next day.
