This delicious, juicy slaw makes a great tailgating side dish, and unlike most slaw recipes, it’s also dairy-free and egg-free. If you’ve never tried jicama, you’re in for a treat – it’s got great crunch and flavor, with a texture somewhere between apple and potato.

Jicama, Apple, and Pear Slaw joins Grilled Pesto Chicken Wraps, Vegetarian White Chili, and Cinnamon Roasted Pecans on our delicious Tailgating Party menu. You’re ready for kickoff!
