Mango Slaw with Mango Lime Dressing
Our mango slaw is bright, refreshing, and can be prepared in less than 30 minutes. Perfect as a topping or on its own as a side dish. A lovely summertime slaw that brings a pop of tropical flavors to your table, it's a Whole Lotta Yum!
Ingredients
- 1 small Green cabbage thinly sliced (about 7 cups)
- 1 ½ large Mangos peeled and thinly sliced into 1 ½" long strips (about 2 ¼ cups)
- 2 medium Carrots thinly sliced into 1 ½" long strips
- 3 Celery stalks thinly sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper thinly sliced into 1 ½" long strips
- ¼ large Red onion thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup Cilantro finely chopped
Dressing
- ½ large Mango peeled and cut into chunks (about ¾ cup)
- ¼ cup Lime juice freshly squeezed (about 2 large limes)
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Minced ginger root
- 1-2 tablespoons Honey
- 1-2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes optional
- ¼ cup Canola oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the slaw ingredients together and toss gently. Place the bowl in the refrigerator while you make the dressing.
- In a blender, combine the mango chunks, lime juice, garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, salt, and peppers. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth.
- While the blender is running, slowly add the canola oil until everything is well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning by adding more honey or vinegar if necessary. If your mango is particularly sweet you may need to add extra vinegar. If the mango isn't very sweet you might require more honey.
- Pour the dressing over the prepared slaw and toss everything together until well combined. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I recommend eating the slaw within an hour of adding the dressing. If you intend on having only a small portion of the slaw at once, then dress only the amount you plan to eat. Refrigerate the rest, with the mango included, for up to 24 hours, or without the mango for up to 3 days.
