My wonderful students have generously shared some of their favorite recipes. The first installment is:

Apple Jicama Cranberry Slaw
Serves 6, Weight Watchers=2 pts/serving

Dressing: (whisk together)
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. honey
2 tsp. walnut oil
½ tsp salt


Salad: (put in a large bowl)
2 cups savoy or Napa cabbage, finely chopped
2 cups apples, cored and coarsely grated (leave skin on)
2 cups jicama, peeled and coarsely grated
2 medium green onions, minced or finely grated
½ cup dried cranberries
1/8 tsp. black pepper (optional)

Toss dressing with salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.


This is a delightfully crisp and refreshing salad. Perfect for your next potluck, dinner party or side dish for the family.
