Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 habanero pepper, seeds removed and minced (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, red cabbage, diced mango, cilantro, and sliced red bell pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Add the minced habanero pepper to the dressing and whisk briefly.
  4. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and mango mixture.
  5. Toss all ingredients gently until the slaw is evenly coated.
  6. Refrigerate the slaw for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a creamier dressing, substitute 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with mayonnaise.
  • If you prefer less heat, substitute the habanero with jalapeño or use only half of the minced habanero.
  • This slaw pairs well with grilled chicken or pulled pork.
