Mexican Style Slaw

Note from Cheri: This spicy slaw is a perfect picnic food (it uses no mayonnaise) and a unique change to traditional cole slaws. Use more or less jalapeño, depending on how spicy you like your foods.

1/2 head green cabbage, shredded 1/2 medium jicama, shredded 1 large carrot, shredded 3 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced 1-2 minced, seeded jalapeños 1/3 C chopped cilantro Dressing 1/4 C fresh lime juice 1/4 C fresh orange juice 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin salt and pepper to taste

Serves 8 Combine all salad ingredients and mix well. Combine all dressing ingredients and toss well with salad ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve. This slaw gets better if it has a chance to sit for a few hours before serving and it's even good the next day.
