A vibrant and refreshing Mango Slaw featuring ripe mangoes and crisp vegetables tossed in a tangy lime and sesame dressing. Perfect as a light side dish or a colorful addition to summer meals.

Ingredients

Scale

Slaw

  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 1 piece red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Vegetables and Fruit: In a large mixing bowl, add the diced mangoes, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well emulsified and smooth.
  3. Toss with Dressing: Pour the prepared dressing over the mango and vegetable mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Rest and Serve: Allow the slaw to rest for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature. This resting time helps the flavors meld and the vegetables to absorb the dressing for maximum taste. Serve fresh.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • The slaw can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated; just toss again before serving.
  • Add chopped nuts like peanuts or cashews for extra crunch and protein.
  • Adjust the lime juice and honey levels to taste for more tanginess or sweetness.
  • This slaw pairs well with grilled meats, tacos, or as a light standalone salad.
