Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The slaw may become soggy, so it’s best to consume it fresh.
  • Tip 2: I don’t recommend freezing this salad, as the fresh ingredients won’t hold up well after thawing. Enjoy it fresh!
  • Tip 3: This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables or a light soup for a fulfilling meal.
  • Tip 4: Consider adding some toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for an extra crunch and nutty flavor.
  • Tip 5: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as mint or basil, in your mango salsa for a unique twist.
