Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small, or half a large jicama, julienned
  • 1-2 firm-ripe mangos, julienned
  • 1-2 jalapenos, julienned
  • pickled red onion recipe follows
  • cilantro
Honey-Lime Pickled Red Onions
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3-3/4 cup lime juice
  • zest of 2 limes
  • 1-4 tbsps honey to taste
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. To make the Pickled Red Onions: Pack a jar with sliced red onions.
    Whisk the lime juice, zest, and salt in a bowl. Whisk in honey to taste (it will serve as the dressing). Pour over the red onions to cover. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Toss the jicama, mango, and jalapenos. Add as many pickled red onion slices as you like (I use about a third of a cup). Spoon the juice from the jar over the slaw, or enough to flavor everything but not drench it with excess liquid (you can always add more right before serving). Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve. Sprinkle on cilantro just before serving.
