Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and julienned

  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned

  • 1/4 red onion, finely sliced (optional for a zing)

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine mango, cucumber, red onion, and cilantro.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using.

  • Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss gently to coat.

  • Let it chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before serving.

  • Serve cold and enjoy with grilled meats or as a light, zesty salad.

Notes

  • Use slightly firm mango for easy slicing.

  • Add shredded red cabbage for extra color and crunch.
