Home Kitchen Mango Poblano Slaw

Mango Poblano Slaw is simple, fresh and incredibly savory. Thinly sliced purple cabbage, poblano, shredded carrot and ribbons of mango tossed with cilantro, green onions and a hot honey lime vinaigrette. Yields approximately 6 servings.

A fresh and savory slaw that is not only fine but healthy and colorful. Purple cabbage, matchstick carrots, thin strips of poblano poblano and mango ribbons are tossed in a simple hot (but not too hot) honey lime vinaigrette.

The combination of sweet mango and poblano with the bright citrusy sweet vinaigrette is pure perfection.
