Notes

  • When selecting a mango, squeeze the fruit gently to judge ripeness. A ripe mango will give slightly, indicating soft flesh inside similar to a peach. 
  • I suggest using fresh lime juice for the best flavor. 
  • Add lime zest for a more vibrant lime presence. 
  • Dress the slaw ahead of time to marinate the vegetables and soften the cabbage. 
  • Use the greens and the white parts of the green onions for color as well as taste. 
  • If you can't find champagne vinegar, substitute it with rice wine vinegar.
