Here’s a bright and refreshing change from cole slaw or carrot salad, mixing the snap of jicama, carrots, and red pepper to thin shreds of napa cabbage for a low-fat, low-sodium side dish. An unexpected sweetness comes from mini bits of pineapple, all of it dressed in a mayonnaise base enlivened by honey, garlic, and ginger.
