  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and julienned
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 6 baby bell peppers or 1 red bell pepper, seeded and julienned
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and julienned
  • ⅓ cup roughly chopped mint or cilantro, or both

Vinaigrette:

  • ¼ cup sesame oil (toasted preferred)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • ½ Tbsp honey or granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, black, white or both
  • 1 Tbsp coconut aminos, or soy sauce
  • ½ tsp fish sauce

These quantities make a generous bowl of slaw, perfect as a side for 4-6 people.

Prep all veggies, mango, and herbs before making the dressing.

Instructions

Let’s assemble this vibrant slaw:

1. Make the Vinaigrette:

  • In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients: sesame oil, kosher salt, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey (or sugar), sesame seeds, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), and fish sauce.
  • Whisk vigorously (or shake the jar) until the salt and sugar are dissolved and the dressing is well blended (emulsified).

2. Prepare and Combine Slaw Ingredients:

  • Prepare all the vegetables, mango, and herbs as directed (seed and julienne cucumber, peel and julienne mango, shred cabbage, seed and julienne peppers and jalapeño, roughly chop herbs).
  • Place all the prepared slaw ingredients (cucumber, mango, cabbage, bell peppers, jalapeño, mint/cilantro) into a large mixing bowl.

3. Dress and Toss:

  • Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the ingredients in the large bowl.
  • Gently toss everything together until the vegetables and mango are evenly coated with the dressing.

4. Serve:

  • Serve the slaw immediately for the best crunch, or let it sit for 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld slightly. Use as desired!

So quick and easy once the chopping is done!
