¼ cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
Juice from 2 limes
2 mangoes, peeled pitted, and thinly sliced
½ small cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
¼ cup fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
In a small bowl, soak the thinly sliced shallots in the lime juice with a cube of ice for at least 10 minutes.
Prep the other ingredients as the shallots chill out in lime juice.
When you’re ready to assemble the salad, toss the mango and sliced cabbage into a large bowl. Add the soaked shallots, sliced mint, and jalapeño pepper.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour in the lime juice/shallot soaking liquid for the dressing.
Toss well, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
The slaw will keep for up to two days in a sealed container in the fridge.
