Jicama and Carrot Citrus Slaw

Jicama and Carrot Citrus Slaw

This is a recipe from my friend, Sandy Holmes.  As some of you know, Sandy is a Registered Dietician and is, in her own words, passionately plant strong.  She has been working on a cookbook and I was lucky enough to get a copy of her first draft.  The recipes look terrific and seem easy to make.

This fresh, clean, crunchy salad is delicious and easy to make. It works perfectly as a side for  a veggie burger and baked sweet potato fries. Because the veggies hold up well, Sandy says it is also a perfect salad to take on a hike.

• 1 cup Carrots, largely shredded
• 1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced
