Jicama is a slightly sweet crunchy root vegetable and adds a great flavor to autumn coleslaws. It’s a lovely addition to the vegan Thanksgiving table! Ask for it at well stocked supermarkets and produce stands. If you can’t find it, substitute crisp white turnip.

Serves: 6 or more

3 cups red cabbage, thinly shredded
3 cups white cabbage, thinly shredded
1 cup peeled, thinly shredded jicama
2 scallions, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Dressing:

1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 tablespoon agave nectar or maple syrup
Juice of 1/2 orange
Juice of 1/2 lime
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Combine the cabbages, jicama, scallions, and parsley in a serving bowl and toss together.

Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well blended. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss well. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
