Serves 4

Ingredients


  • 2 large jicamas
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 medium-size red beets
  • 1 mango
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 bunch cilantro, minced

    Additional toppings:

    Directions

    Peel and slice jicama into 1/16-inch rounds, or use a mandolin slicer (you should have enough for .7 ounces per serving). Soak in cold water overnight.

    To make the slaw, shred the carrots and beets. Add the juice of 2 limes, 3 Tbsp. olive oil and salt, to taste.
