I made jicama carrot slaw with grilled steak recently to take on a day trip with my family, and they ate it so quickly that I didn’t even get a bite! Good thing I packed other goodies, or I would have starved. (Well, we were 30 minutes from home, so I wouldn’t have starved. But I was getting really, really hungry, which is almost the same!) From what I hear, the tangy dressing soaks into the steak pieces, and when combined with the crunchy cabbage, carrots, and jicama . . . well, just make extra. Or so I’ve learned. You’ve been warned.
