Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping 2 ripe mangoes into bite-sized pieces, setting them aside in a large mixing bowl. Next, shred 2 cups of cabbage and grate 1 cup of carrots.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the juice of 2 fresh limes, 2 tablespoons of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Once your ingredients are prepped, add the chopped mangoes, shredded cabbage, and grated carrots into the large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the top and gently toss everything together until well-coated.
  4. Taste your Mango Slaw and decide if it needs any adjustments. If you'd like more tang, add an extra splash of lime juice. If you prefer it sweeter, mix in a bit more honey.
  5. Serve immediately as a lively side dish or topping for fish tacos. If preparing in advance, wait to add the dressing until just before serving.
