Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Slaw

Start by washing and peeling the mango, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Finely shred about 2 cups of cabbage and grate 1-2 medium carrots. Place all chopped ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, squeeze fresh lime juice (about 2 tablespoons) and whisk it together with 1-2 tablespoons of honey and a pinch of salt until combined.
Pour the chopped mango, cabbage, and carrots into the mixing bowl and gently toss the ingredients together for an even distribution.
Drizzle the freshly made dressing over the mango and vegetables, then toss everything together until evenly coated. Optionally add nuts or seeds.
Serve immediately or chill for about 15 minutes. Enjoy as a refreshing summer side dish!

Notes

Always chop your ingredients right before serving to maintain the slaw's crunch. Add dressing just before serving to prevent wilting. Adjust lime juice to taste for more tang.
