    Broccoli Jicama Slaw Low Carb-

    Broccoli Jicama Slaw Low carb is an easy to make, healthy, tangy and slightly sweet coleslaw with broccoli, chopped jicama, walnuts, and unsweetened dried cranberries and has a paleo option.

    Broccoli Jicama Slaw Low Carb & Paleo

    This crisp and delicious Broccoli Jicama Slaw is a tasty lower carb alternative to apple broccoli slaw. I used chopped jicama to replace the apples, and I used a small amount of dried unsweetened cranberries to replace the raisins that are usually used in broccoli slaw.

    The coleslaw turned out so yummy. My teen son, who hates raw broccoli, actually ate two servings and told me that "broccoli should always be served this way!". This is such a win for me. I still have trouble getting my picky boy to eat anything green!

      Loved your son's comment on Broccoli. My daughter stopped eating it because of none of the kids in school like it. Maybe I will convince her this way.

      Oh yum! When a picky eater loves his broccoli, that means this is a must-try recipe. Adding this to my dinner rotation.

      I love broccoli slaw and I love jicama and never would've thought to combine them but it's such a great idea! The jicama gives it a juicy crunch that is delicious. Thank you!

      Looks so refreshing! I always forget about jicama but it's one of my favorite veggies when it's around. I bet this is wonderful with some grilled meats.
