For evenly sliced thin vegetables, a kitchen mandoline is the excellent tool. You’ll find it handy for slicing jicama and carrots as well as white salad turnips. Notes: *** For thin-sliced veggies, I often use my countertop mandoline (affiliate link), although the less expensive, no frills, portable OXO hand-held slicer (affiliate link) easily slices salad turnips into thin circles. *** I don’t like using the pusher or guard that comes with many with mandoline slicers, prefering cut-resistant gloves for better feel and accurate thin slices. I like either the No-Cry or Victorinox gloves. (Affiliate link.)
