Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Slaw
  1. In a large mixing bowl, start by dicing two ripe mangoes into bite-sized pieces. Next, shred about two cups of green cabbage and grate one medium carrot. Slice half a red bell pepper and a quarter of a red onion thinly. Lastly, chop a handful of fresh cilantro. Combine all these colorful ingredients in the bowl and toss them gently to ensure even distribution.
  2. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, two tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup), and two tablespoons of sesame oil. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Continue whisking until the mixture is well combined and smooth, creating a vibrant dressing that will tie all the flavors of the Mango Slaw together beautifully.
  3. Pour the dressing over the mango and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Using a spatula, gently toss the slaw to ensure everything is evenly coated in the dressing. Aim for a light hand to avoid bruising the delicate mango pieces.
  4. Allow the Mango Slaw to sit for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
  5. After resting, give the slaw a final gentle toss. You can serve it chilled or at room temperature, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures.
