Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mangoes, shredded cabbage, grated carrot, sliced red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss well to mix all the vegetables and fruit evenly.

  5. Serve: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish with your favorite main course.
  6. Customize: Customize the slaw by adding ingredients such as diced avocado, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for additional flavor.
  7. For Extra Crunch: For a crunchier texture, serve the slaw immediately after mixing the ingredients with the dressing.
  8. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
