Reviews
Made this last night for an oyster roast potluck, and it had RAVE reviews. I’m not a routine jicama user in recipes, but I would definitely suggest this as a vibrant alternative to the regular cabbage slaw.
This recipe is great! we saw the BBQ episode and tried it the next day, it was creamy without the heavy mayo, very refreshing and tasty. I would recommend this cole slaw as an alternative to the cabbage slaw. I am sure you will like it.
