Red Cabbage Slaw

Red cabbage slaw with jicama and mango

This cabbage salad has a tangy tropical twist with crunchy chopped jicama and juicy mango slices. Jicama is a root vegetable that is rich in vitamins and minerals. If you can’t find it in stores, red bell pepper works well as a substitution.
