Mango Jicama Slaw

 I loved the Mango Jicama Slaw from Trader Joes with taco meat mixed in.  Sadly, it was discontinued this season and when I found out today while shopping, I quickly looked up a recipe and found this one on Caroline's Cooking page.  I shopped the ingredients while at Trader Joes for a few shortcuts, like bagged shredded cabbage and jicama sticks.  For a family salad bowl sized helping, I made 1.5 of this recipe.  My mango cutting is made easier by using the Pampered Chef tool that looks like an apple slicer, but is made for the core of mangoes and avocados  My jicama shredding was made easier by putting the precut jicama sticks from Trader Joes into my mixmaster with the shredding tool attached.  The entire process only took about 20 minutes to make this slaw.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cabbage shredded, approx
• 1 cup jicama peeled and julienned, approx (I shredded mine)
• 1 cup mango small, thinly sliced (approx 1 mango)
• 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro roughly chopped

Place all of these ingredients into a big bowl and mix together.

For the dressing

• 2 tablespoon lime juice 
• 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or canola
• 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
• ⅛ teaspoon grated garlic (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• Directions

• Finely shred the cabbage (I bought a bag of pre-shredded cabbage)  and julienne the peeled jicama (I bought peeled jicama sticks and shredded them) and mango(I just thinly sliced the mango, then cut the slices into small strips).  Roughly chop the cilantro.  Place all ingredients in a bowl
• Add the lime juice, oil, honey, cumin, garlic, salt, and pepper to a small jar. Cover with a lid and shake to blend well. Alternatively, you can put all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk them together.
• Pour the dressing over the slaw ingredients and toss to combine well
