MANGO SLAW

There is absolutely nothing new about coleslaw, but there is something slightly intriguing about coleslaw with mangos. Often, when we think of coleslaw, we think of it as a side for fish and chips, barbecue, or heavy, mayonnaise-drenched cabbage. But just think about the cool, crunchy sweetness of the cabbage, carrots and mango, paired with the spicy kick of jerk chicken. What's a better combination? You also don't have to serve it as a side: It can be tucked into a sandwich or wrap. One of the best things about this recipe is that all the ingredients are readily available, and there are many shortcuts you can take, like using a bagged mix. Who wants to ruin their knuckles on a box grater, or break out the food processor?

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe mangoes. Look for mangoes that are yellow or orange in color, with a slight give when pressed. Avoid mangoes that are green or have brown spots.
If you don't have time to let the slaw marinate, you can serve it immediately. However, the flavors will be more developed if you let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
This slaw is a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. Simply add the cooked meat to the slaw and toss to combine.
For a vegan version of this slaw, omit the chicken or shrimp and add in some extra vegetables, such as cucumber or bell pepper.
This slaw is also a great way to get your kids to eat their fruits and vegetables. The sweet mangoes and creamy coconut dressing make it a delicious and refreshing side dish.

Conclusion:

Coconut mango slaw is easy to make and a healthy and refreshing side dish. It's perfect for summer gatherings or potlucks. The sweet mangoes, crunchy cabbage, and creamy coconut dressing are a delicious combination that will please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give coconut mango slaw a try.
