Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 jicama (peeled and cut into matchsticks, about 5 to 6 cups; or cut up a 10-ounce container of jicama sticks)
- 3 small green apples (cut into matchsticks, about 3 cups)
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and diced)
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Dressing Ingredients
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 shallot (diced)
- 1 lime (juiced, about ¼ cup)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, or substitute with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar)
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Slaw Base: Combine the matchstick-cut jicama and green apples, diced jalapeño, and chopped fresh cilantro in a large mixing bowl to create the base of the slaw.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl or measuring cup, thoroughly mix together the plain Greek yogurt, diced shallot, freshly squeezed lime juice, honey (if using), and fine sea salt until smooth and well combined.
- Toss the Slaw with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the jicama and apple mixture, then stir gently but thoroughly so that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Chill or Serve Immediately: Enjoy the slaw right away for the freshest crunch or refrigerate for about an hour to allow flavors to meld and chill before serving.

Notes
- If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the jalapeño.
- The honey is optional and can be substituted with granulated sugar or omitted entirely for a less sweet dressing.
- This slaw is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Use crisp and tart green apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor contrast.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
