Jicama Slaw - 19.2g Carbs, 9.1g Fiber, 5.2g Sugar

From: The Paleo Summer Survival Guide: 12 Must Have Insider Recipes...
Nothing screams summertime like a light and tangy slaw. We love using jicama because it has a crispy texture that holds up well, even when paired with acid like the lime in this recipe. Strawberries add that last little bit of sweetness to make this the perfect dish to serve with most anything on the grill. Feel free to use any seasonal berry or fruit instead of the strawberries.
