    This mango slaw is so good and super easy to make. It's wonderful as a side to grilled meat or seafood, a perfect topping for tacos, and would be an amazing picnic food.

    Mangoes are really good for you, with loads of vitamin C and fiber. This fruit that originated in Southeast Asia and India is a perfect snack for any time of day.

    My husband made this slaw the other night and, holy moly, it was so good! We've had it as a side dish and on tacos and it was so flavorful on both. Try it on these Quinoa Tacos with this authentic Mexican salsa recipe.

    We've been buying mangoes like they're going out of style as we eat them on oatmeal almost every day.

    My husband is actually more creative than I am in the kitchen - taking more risks with ingredients.

    I often worry that I'll ruin a dish, so I'll take out a quarter cup of whatever I'm making and add a new ingredient - test it - and then add it to the rest of the dish if it's good.

    Not so with Tim. He just goes for it. And when it's good, it is very, very, good. And when it's bad, well, let's just talk about this mango slaw! 

    What You Need to Make Mango Slaw

    You will need red wine vinegar, EVOO, honey, mangoes, green onions, cabbage, celery seeds, cilantro, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper.

    I usually have all of this on hand as we use these ingredients a lot. I'm sure you have much of it in your pantry, too.

    I've been doubling up on everything when shopping so we don't have to go out as much, but you've got to have fresh fruits and veggies, and we use fresh herbs quite a bit, too.

    How to Make this Slaw

    Add the vinegar, olive oil, honey, mayo, mustard, celery seeds, salt, and pepper to a bowl and whisk until well combined.

    Add cabbage, mango, cilantro, and green onions to the bowl and mix well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 45 minutes to a couple of hours. Done!

    Recipes that Go with Mango Slaw

    This slaw is so versatile. I could honestly toss a handful of Chow Mein noodles into the bowl and have it for lunch.

    I can't wait to try it on this cast iron chicken thighs and this Weight Watchers shrimp.  This slaw is especially good with just about anything grilled, so check out this list of over 50 grilling recipes for ideas.

    We served the mango slaw with grilled chicken skewers (recipe coming soon!) and it was fabulous.

    If you're looking for more mango recipes, try this Mango Margarita. It's refreshing and has a nice kick.

    For a fun dessert, try these Churro Cheesecake Bars or choose something from this list of Indonesian desserts. We love trying foods from around the world!
