Whip up this vibrant Mango Slaw! Sweet, julienned mango meets crisp shredded cabbage, carrots, red onion, and fresh cilantro for an easy, healthy side. Simple prep.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe, firm mangoes
  • 1/2 head green cabbage (about 4 cups shredded)
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1/4 small red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the vegetables by thinly slicing or shredding the green cabbage. Peel and julienne the carrots. Thinly slice the red onion and finely chop the fresh cilantro.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the mangoes by peeling them, then carefully cutting the flesh into thin strips or julienning them.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and honey (or maple syrup) until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, thinly sliced red onion, julienned mango, and chopped cilantro.
  5. Step 5: Pour the prepared dressing over the mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Step 6: Taste the mango slaw and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately, or chill for 15-30 minutes for optimal flavor melding.

Notes

  • Enjoy this slaw fresh for the best crunch; any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day, though the cabbage will soften a bit.
  • This refreshing slaw is designed to be served chilled, so please don't reheat it; simply pull it from the fridge when you're ready to enjoy its cool, crisp flavors.
  • This vibrant side dish shines beautifully alongside grilled fish, chicken, or chicken, and makes an exceptional, zesty topping for tacos or veggie burgers.
  • For the ideal texture and taste, choose mangoes that are ripe and fragrant but still firm enough to hold their shape when sliced, ensuring a delightful bite without any mushiness.
