Jicama Slaw

I made this last night. WITH THE AOLI which is the only way to make it. Jicama is always such a delicately sweet surprise. Each time I have it I wonder why I don't more often. This recipe made up 7 cups and I am sharing it with my loved ones.

Thanks so much Shandy. This one is a winner. I posted a picture of the ingredients. The Jicama is that big, round, tan colored root. I figure it may be a new vegetable for some folks. I found this at Publix here in Florida. It was about $1.79/lb. The yield on this makes it an inexpensive and very different fresh addition to any picnic. Since there is very little dressing, NO MAYO, in it to spoil you won't have to worry about it in the heat much either.

I've never had Jicama. I saw it yesterday when I went food shopping. Its sweet? What else does it taste like? This slaw sounds interesting!

It is faintly sweet but no sweet sweet. Its crunchy and cool like cucumbers and very white.
