For the Slaw:

2 cups shredded red cabbage
2 cups jicama, peeled and cut into thin matchstick-like strips
1 small red bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small yellow bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)

For the Dressing:

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large salad bowl combine the shredded red cabbage, jicama, and peppers and then set aside while you prepare the dressing.

To prepare the dressing, in a screw-top jar, combine all the dressing ingredients. Cover and shake well.

Pour the dressing over the jicama slaw mixture and toss everything together until well combined and coated with dressing. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
