Delicious salad. I made half a recipe of the salad but the whole dressing recipe. It was great! Will have this often with Mexican themed meals. The fresh lime juice really makes it. Served it with quesadillas.

Very light and flavorful dish. Followed the recipe exactly but should have added more heat because even with the 2 recommended jalapeno's, we didn't get much spice. My husband was not a fan of this but I thought it was good. Not sure if I will make it again but it paired nicely tonight with Oaxacan shrimp and #139227. Thank you for posting!

This was a surprising dish. I loved the harmony of the citrus flavors in the dressing. The jicama and cabbage had a wonderful crunchiness that I enjoyed too. I used this dish as a side to a chicken and salsa recipe, and it was wonderful. Thanks, Mirj for sharing this keeper.

My family loved this slaw. Took it to a cookout and it won hands down in the coleslaw department! I used one jalapeno pepper with seeds removed, fresh cilantro. I could not find jicama so I used a peeled, grated granny smith apple and no one seemed to mind. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
