Experience a burst of tropical freshness with this Delicious Mango Slaw! Sweet mango, crisp veggies, and tangy lime dressing create an irresistible vegetarian delight.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe but firm mangoes, peeled and julienned
  • 1/2 head green cabbage (approx. 4 cups), thinly shredded
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 small red onion, very thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare all the fresh produce. First, peel and julienne the two mangoes, setting aside in a large mixing bowl. Thinly shred the green cabbage and julienne the carrots, adding them to the bowl with the mango. Thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro, then add these to the bowl as well.
  2. Step 2: In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey or maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until well combined and the honey has dissolved.
  3. Step 3: Pour the prepared dressing evenly over the mango and vegetable mixture in the large mixing bowl.
  4. Step 4: Using tongs or clean hands, gently toss all the ingredients together until the dressing is thoroughly distributed and everything is well coated. Be careful not to mash the mango.
  5. Step 5: For best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the mango slaw for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill.
  6. Step 6: Serve the delicious mango slaw chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light vegetarian meal.

Notes

  • For optimal crunch and vibrancy, enjoy this slaw within 24 hours; store any leftovers tightly covered in the fridge, but expect the cabbage to soften slightly.
  • This refreshing slaw is designed to be served chilled, so please do not reheat it, as doing so would compromise its crisp texture and vibrant flavors.
  • Beyond being a delightful vegetarian meal or side, this bright slaw pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, chicken tacos, or even as a zesty topping for black bean burgers.
  • For the best texture and visual appeal, ensure your mangoes are ripe but still firm enough to julienne cleanly, and consider a quick ice bath for your thinly sliced red onion to temper its bite before adding it.
