Jicama, a vegetable quite popular in the Southwest, is becoming

increasingly available everywhere else. Though an unusual vegetable, its

sweet flavor and crunchy texture have broad appeal. If you can't find

jicama, substitute crisp white turnip.

 

Combine the cabbages, jicama matchsticks, and scallions in a bowl and toss

together. Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and stir until

well blended. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss well. Cover and

refrigerate until needed.

 

Note: for a nondairy substitution, replace the yogurt and sour cream with

Tofu Mayonnaise, see separate recipe
