** toss this slaw no more than 2 hours before serving as the crunchy texture when left too long may become soggy.
Needed for slaw - 2 medium jicama, peeled and cut into julienne
2 tart green apples, cored, quartered and cut into julienne
1 red pepper, cored, seeded and cut into julienne
6 scallions (green and white parts) thinly sliced
1 cup (4 ounces) chopped roasted peanuts or pine nuts (we used pine nuts)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
For the dressing -
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup apple or orange juice
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small jalapeno seeded and diced
1 - toss all slaw ingredients together in a medium bowl
2- for dressing - whisk mustard and juice together in small bowl. Add brown sugar, and stir until dissolved, then whisk in oil. Season with salt and jalapeno.
3- pour dressing over the veggies and mix well. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
