Instructions

1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, julienned ripe mango, shredded carrots, and chopped fresh cilantro. Ensure the mango is tender and fragrant, and the vegetables are crisp to the touch.
2 In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, salt, and optional red pepper flakes. Continue whisking for about 1-2 minutes until the dressing is well emulsified and fragrant.
3 Pour the prepared dressing over the slaw ingredients in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together using tongs or your hands for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring all the vegetables and mango are evenly coated with the dressing.
4 Taste the slaw and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or sweetener to achieve your desired flavor balance. If using, gently fold in the chopped roasted peanuts for added texture.
5 Allow the slaw to marinate for at least 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the vegetables to soften slightly, creating a more cohesive dish.

Tips & Notes

Julienne the mango from a fruit that gives only slightly when pressed. Very soft mango turns to pulp when tossed with the cabbage.
For a more Thai-style flavor, add a splash of fish sauce labeled gluten-free to the lime dressing.
Fold in the peanuts just before serving so they stay crunchy, and choose peanuts labeled gluten-free.
