Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, peeled and julienned Choose ripe mangoes for best flavor.
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage (about half a small head) Use a sharp knife or mandoline for thin, even strands.
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage For color and additional texture.
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional) Could be omitted if not liked.

Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt alternative For a creamy texture.
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Plus extra to taste.
  • Freshly ground black pepper To taste.

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons toasted pumpkin seeds or chopped toasted almonds For crunch.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and dry all vegetables and mangoes. Julienning the mango into matchsticks helps distribute flavor evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to shred the green and red cabbage into thin, even strands.

Mixing the Dressing

  • In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, honey, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combining the Slaw

  • In a large bowl, toss together the green and red cabbage, grated carrot, red onion, and cilantro. Add the mango julienne and gently fold to combine.

Dressing and Resting

  • Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss until everything is lightly coated. Let the Mango Slaw sit refrigerated for 10–20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Finishing Touch

  • Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds or almonds on top to keep them crisp.

Notes

Choose ripe mangoes for best flavor. Don’t overdress, and consider prepping ahead for better texture. Serve slaw slightly chilled or at cool room temperature.
