Asian Inspired Slaw

Have you ever had a fish taco? Mmmm....that delicious cabbage slaw mix that makes the yummy crunch? Yep, I wanted to recreate that on chicken tacos and found this little recipe. Not to mention its loaded with with veggies and very colorful for a nice presentation.

2 Cups carrots, shredded

2 Cups red cabbage, shredded

1 Cup radishes, shredded

1 Cup jicama, shredded ***

1/3 cups scallions, chopped

3 Tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped

2 medium jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped

2 Tbsp orange marmalade 

4 tsp rice vinegar

2 tsp toasted sesame oil

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Combine vegetables in a large bowl. 

Combine marmalade, vinegar, oil, salt and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Whisk until well mixed.

Stir dressing and vegetables together. 

Serve with grilled chicken and soft corn tortillas or grilled fish. 

*** Jicama is like potato that smashed into an apple.  It's a root and needs to be peeled. It's crunchy like an apple but more dense like a raw potato with a slightly sweet taste. It's great in salads.
