Cole slaw recipe with radicchio, cabbage and jicama is a colorful salad that is also fabulous to use as a stuffing in Spring Rolls. The radicchio adds a beautiful color to the cabbage. The jicama has a sweet and starchy flavor similar to an apple and adds an extra zest to the cole slaw. I sometimes also add shrimp to this Cole Slaw recipe mixture.

* Jicama is sometimes called Mexican potato. It looks something like a cross between a potato and a turnip, with a thin brown skin, a round, turnip-like form and tail, and smooth white flesh. Jicama can be found in the produce section of most specialty markets and supermarkets.
