  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Slaw Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss well to mix all the vegetables and fruit evenly.
  2. Prepare the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Dress the Slaw: Pour the dressing over the mango and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the dressing.
  4. Let Flavors Meld: Let the slaw sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
  5. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish with your favorite main course.
  6. Customize (Optional): Customize the slaw by adding ingredients such as diced avocado, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for additional flavor.
  7. For Crunchier Texture: Serve the slaw immediately after mixing the ingredients with the dressing for extra crunch.
  8. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mangoes for the best texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preference.
  • Add diced avocado or chopped nuts like cashews or peanuts for extra creaminess and crunch.
  • Sprinkle chili flakes for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
