Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mango Slaw
  1. Start by peeling and slicing 2 ripe mangoes into thin strips or cubes, ensuring they are juicy and sweet. Next, shred about 2 cups of green or purple cabbage using a sharp knife or a food processor for convenience. Finally, grate up to 1 cup of carrots.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 limes and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined. Ensure the honey dissolves completely for a smooth dressing.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the sliced mango, shredded cabbage, and grated carrots. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
  4. Drizzle the prepared lime-honey dressing over the slaw mixture. Toss everything together gently until the mango, cabbage, and carrots are evenly coated with the dressing.
  5. Serve the Mango Slaw immediately for the freshest crunch, or let it refrigerate for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
