Method

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, shredded cabbage, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Toss gently to mix well.

Making the Dressing

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well-blended.

Combining the Slaw

Pour the dressing over the slaw and gently toss until everything is well coated. The vibrant colors should shine through.

Chilling

For the best flavor, let your slaw sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

Serving

Enjoy your Mango Slaw chilled or at room temperature as a delicious side or light meal.

Notes

For added crunch, consider including chopped nuts or seeds such as cashews or sunflower seeds. If preparing for meal prep, store the dressing separately until it’s time to serve.
