Let stand for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 day (the cabbage will release its color and turn the slaw pink over time).

SAVOY JICAMA SLAW WITH CITRUS-CUMIN DRESSING

Steps:

• For the slaw: In a large bowl, lightly toss the shredded cabbage, removing any thick pieces. Repeat with the radicchio, then add to the cabbage. Add the jicama, carrots, red bell peppers, green onions, cilantro and pineapple, tossing after each addition.
• For the cumin dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and agave in a measuring cup. Whisk in the grapefruit juice, orange juice and vinegar and blend well.
• Pour the vinaigrette over the slaw mix and blend well. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Stir and serve.

WHITE BALSAMIC-JICAMA SLAW

Steps:

• To Make the Salad:
• Trim off the cabbage's root end, thinly slice crosswise, then chop into pieces that can be easily picked up with a fork. Combine the cabbage, carrots, jicama, green onions, apples, and dried currants in a large bowl.
• To Make the Dressing:
• Vigorously whisk together the garlic, lime juice, honey, oil, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and mayonnaise in a medium bowl until the dressing is thoroughly combined. Whisk in the fennel seeds and pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture. Stir until the dressing evenly covers the slaw. The slaw will be a little soupy, which is just the way I like it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
• Tip
• Instead of by hand, you can mix the dressing in a food processor fitted with the metal blade, which will save you the hassle of chopping up garlic (you add it whole). You cannot, however, escape the slight hassle of peeling off the papery skin and slicing off the tips of each clove.
• Variation
• For those who plan to wear their summer shorts short, you can lighten the dressing: for the 1 cup mayonnaise, substitute 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise plus 3/4 cup nonfat or low-fat yogurt.
