Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups thinly shredded green cabbage -- or savoy cabbage, about 1/3 whole cabbage
1/2 red bell pepper -- cored, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 yellow bell pepper -- cored, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 poblano pepper -- cored, seeded, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup jicama -- cut into fine julienne
2 scallions -- finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (to 3) fresh jalapeno chilies -- or pickled jalapenos, minced or thinly sliced (for a milder slaw, seed the chilies)
1 clove garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon sugar -- to 2 teaspoons
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice -- or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine the cabbage, red and yellow bell peppers, poblano chili, jicama,
scallions, cilantro, jalapenos, garlic, sugar, lime juice, salt, and
pepper in a nonreactive bowl and toss to mix. Correct the seasoning,
adding salt, sugar, or lime juice to taste. This slaw will keep for
several days, but reseason it before serving.

Makes 4 cups, enough to serve 4 to 6.

AuthorNote: Cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeno chilies lend this colorful
slaw a Southwestern accent. If jicama isn't available, you could use
julienned daikon radish. Santa Fe slaw would make a nice accompaniment to
black bean burritos.
