Napa Cabbage and Jicama Slaw’s sweet and crunchy combination makes it a terrific side dish for any hearty, autumn meal. Napa cabbage is a lovely addition to the fall vegetable garden and to your fall menus. It looks like a paler version of romaine lettuce with crinkly leaves wrapped tightly together. Its flavor is lighter and sweeter than regular cabbage, which is the reason I enjoy it so much in this recipe paired with the sweet and creamy Apple Cider Dressing. Jicama is a root vegetable that leans toward the sweet side of flavor. Its crunchy texture adds another dimension to this slaw.

Tips
Jicama is a tough, fibrous vegetable that can be a bit hard to slice. I've found that my mandolin, or my food processor with the shredding disc, does a nice job.
