Slaw-licious

By:  Maria


What do you do with leftover cabbage and jicama?  Why, make a slaw!
Jicama (pronounced HIK-ka-ma) is a root vegetable that has a potato like covering and tastes slightly sweet.
The throw-together ingredients produced a sweet and tangy slaw that will be a frequent addition to our meals, especially once bbq season is here!

Ingredients

1 med Jicama, shredded
1/2 red cabbage, sliced into really thin slices
1/2 c chopped walnuts (toasted would be delicious!)
1/2 c pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 orange, diced
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1 avocado, mashed
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tblsp apple cider vinegar
1 tblsp lemon juice
salt & vinegar

Mix all ingredients and season with salt & pepper.
(optional:  sprinkle with finely chopped bacon pieces - mmm)
