This vibrant Jicama and Apple Slaw is a delightful medley of crunchy textures and refreshing flavors. The crisp jicama pairs perfectly with the sweetness of apples and the sharpness of red onion, all brought together by a zesty lime dressing. Perfect as a side dish for summer barbecues or as a light lunch, this slaw not only tantalizes your taste buds but also adds a burst of color to your plate.
