Fish Taco Slaw With Mango
Description
This slaw starts with thinly shredded green and purple cabbage mixed with small strips or cubes of firm mango and finely chopped jalapeño for optional heat. Fresh cilantro adds an herbaceous brightness. A separate dressing of mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, kosher salt, and black pepper is whisked together until smooth and tossed with the slaw ingredients to coat evenly.
The combination yields a crunchy, slightly spicy slaw with juicy spots of mango sweetness. The creamy lime dressing ties it together with a tang that complements fish tacos well. The slaw benefits from at least 30 minutes chilled resting to let flavors meld and soften the cabbage slightly.
Variations can include adding thinly sliced radish, shredded carrot, or red onion for added texture and flavor. Once assembled and chilled, the slaw is ready to serve as a cool, zesty accompaniment to grilled or fried fish in tacos, brightening the dish and adding freshness.

Instructions

- In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Pour the dressing over the shredded cabbage and mango mixture. Use a spatula or tongs to gently toss and coat the vegetables with the dressing.
