Tropical Macadamia Mango Slaw
Bursting with crunchy macadamia nuts, sweet juicy mango, crisp peppers, and fresh mint, this Hawaiian-inspired tropical slaw is the perfect accompaniment to any summer meal.
Ingredients
For the Slaw:
- Half of a medium (or a quarter of a large) red cabbage
- Half of a medium (or a quarter of a large) green cabbage
- Red bell pepper
- Yellow bell pepper
- Ripe mango
- 8 oz roasted macadamias
- 10-12 sprigs of fresh mint
For the Dressing:
- 2 tbsp fresh-squeezed lime juice
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp local honey (or agave for a vegan version)
- Generous few pinches of flaky sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the red and green cabbage into long, thin ribbons and add them to a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the dressing ingredients (lime juice, avocado oil, honey/agave, and salt) over the cabbage and toss well. Let the cabbage marinate in the dressing for at least 15-20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Conversely, cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight; the cabbage will become increasingly tender and flavorful as it marinates.
- Cut the bell peppers into long, thin ribbons and add them to the slaw.
- Cut the mango into long, thin strips and add them to the slaw.
- Chop the macadamias coarsely and cut the mint into very thin ribbons. Add about three quarters of each to the slaw, reserving the remaining quarter for sprinkling on top.
- Toss all of the ingredients well, then transfer the slaw to a serving dish.
- Garnish the slaw with the reserved macadamias and fresh mint.
