Jicama Slaw
Jicama is definitely a Fat Flush favorite! It is a crunchy alternative to cabbage and tastes similar to water chestnuts – only sweeter. Jicama is quite delicious when served raw. This slaw is terrific with any fish dish.
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces jicama, peeled and cut into thin strips
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 cucumber, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup parsley, chopped
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dill
- 3 tablespoons flaxseed oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
In a large bowl, place the jicama, onion, carrot, and cucumber and set aside. In a jar, put the parsley, vinegar, dill, flaxseed oil, garlic, and lemon juice and shake well. Pour the dressing over the jicama mix and toss lightly.
Variations
Add ½ sliced whole fennel bulb for an intriguing taste sensation and substitute lime juice for the lemon.
Add toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds to the slaw.
