This tropical purple cabbage slaw is made with a crunchy and vibrant purple cabbage, mangoes, carrot, green onion and cilantro. The tangy and sweet dressing gives it a very refreshing taste.

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small head of red cabbage, or half of a large head (1 – 1 1/2 lbs), shredded
- 1 – 2 mangoes, peeled and chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and shredded
- 1–2 Tablespoons each, fresh green onions and cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sugar or honey
- 1/2 Tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2–3 Tablespoons cider vinegar
- salt, ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep all the vegetables and herbs and place them in a large bowl. Mix to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar/honey, lime juice, olive oil, vinegar and salt and ground black pepper. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss to combine.
- Serve immediately or keep the slaw refrigerated before serving. The flavors will all combine and it will taste even better. The slaw will release some liquid as it stands, so just drain it before serving.
Notes
To change up the flavor, add some sliced red onion and some mandarin oranges to the salad.
Instead of the mango, you can use some sliced apples, any variety. (I love Granny Smith apples for salads). The additional crunch and sweetness is wonderful here.
