Jicama Mango Slaw with Cilantro Mint Dressing

I had some leftover cilantro mint sauce and what better way to use it than over a refreshing 5 ingredient coleslaw?  I can’t think of one, so that’s what I did.  While cilantro is a polarizing herb, it has a lot going for it including liver cleansing properties and loads of vitamins and minerals.
