Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, honey, olive oil, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the jicama, red cabbage, cilantro, and mint (if using). Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss to coat evenly. Gently fold in the orange segments and avocado. Sprinkle with toasted pepitas. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Chill for 10 minutes, if time allows, then serve alongside the stew.
