Also known as a "Mexican potato," jicama's flavor is often described as a cross between a potato and an apple -- it's the perfect crunchy, juicy addition to this slaw.
Before you start cutting, peel jicama with a vegetable peeler, then halve from top to bottom (a serrated knife works best). To julienne, slice jicama halves 1/8 inch thick; lay slices flat and cut into 1/8-inch-thick sticks.
