Ingredients

2 ripe mangos, peeled, pitted, and julienned

2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup red cabbage, finely shredded

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), julienned

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds (or sunflower seeds)

For the Tangy Dressing:

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/3 cup olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the julienned mangos, green cabbage, red cabbage, bell pepper, red onion, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients uniformly.

Make the dressing: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), lime juice, and Dijon mustard until fully combined. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until the dressing is emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the slaw and dressing: Drizzle the tangy dressing over the mango and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together until the slaw is evenly coated with the dressing.

Let it marinate: For the best flavor, cover the slaw and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften slightly.

Add pumpkin seeds: Just before serving, sprinkle the toasted pumpkin seeds on top for an added crunch. Give it a gentle toss again if needed.

Serve: Enjoy this refreshing Tangy Mango Slaw as a side dish for barbecues, tacos, or any light meal!
