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.

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!
