Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing two ripe mangoes and shredding about four cups of green cabbage into a large mixing bowl. Next, grate a carrot, slice one red bell pepper, and finely slice half a red onion before adding them to the bowl. Finally, chop a handful of fresh cilantro to enhance the slaw's vibrant flavor.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the juice of one lime, two tablespoons of honey (or maple syrup), and two tablespoons of sesame oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.
  3. Pour the prepared dressing over the vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Using tongs or a spatula, toss the slaw gently to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Cover the bowl of mango slaw and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the dressing.
  5. After the flavors have melded, serve the mango slaw chilled or at room temperature as a delightful side dish.
