Mango Slaw Ingredients

How Can I Use Mangos In Recipes?
Mangos can be used to in so many ways. Add slices to salads, use in mango pineapple salsas, smoothies, sorbets, sauces, and fish dishes. Mangos are always a great snack!
How To Select A Ripe Mango?
Choose mangos that are firm, have unblemished skin, and a fresh scent. Since mangos are usually sold firm, leave at room temperature for a few days on the kitchen counter to soften until yielding to gentle pressure. Refrigerate once ripe for up to a week or more.
How to Cut a Mango Using A Knife:
- You can use a knife and a cutting board. Cut a small slice off the stem end so it sits stable, place one end of the mango on a cutting board.
- Next, carefully cut down feeling your way cutting between the mango seed and the fruit. The seed is tough and will resist your knife, one side of the mango will have a thicker piece of fruit than the other.
- Once you have cut both sides of mango away from the seed, use a butter knife to cut a criss-cross pattern down to the mango skin but not through it, then press the mango half to invert and scrape off the mango chunks into a bowl.
To see a full step by step post, you can see my kitchen tip post on How To Dice and Cut Mangos
How To Cut A Mango Using A Mango Splitter:
Step 1: Wash with cool water and a quick spray of vinegar.
Step 2: Try using a mango splitter, the one I use is from OXO. It works so well, and did a fabulous job on this extra-large mango!
Step 3: Cut a small slice off the stem end so it sits stable, press down, and that is it...you discard (or compost) the seed in the center with one simple press.
Note: The sharp stainless steel blades slice cleanly through the mango and leave almost nothing behind on the large flat seed.
Step 4: Each side piece of the mango is the part you want to use for recipes or snacking.
Step 5: Use a butter knife, and slice into a grid through each mango half.
Step 6: Turn the half inside out and scoop the diced mango pieces into a bowl with your fingers or a large spoon.
Now that was easy, wasn't it?
Mangos always remind me of tropical islands, warm balmy beaches, and a relaxing on vacation! This Mango Jicama Slaw with sweet juicy Keitt Mangos takes me straight to an "island" state of mind, which is a really good thing in my book.
Enjoy this Mango Jicama Slaw served with grilled fish, as a side dish with pineapple shrimp skewers, or along with a pulled pork sandwich. This Mango Jicama Slaw would be great on fish tacos!
The crunchy jicama and green cabbage balance well with the sweet tangy mango-lime vinaigrette. Enjoy this perfect clean side dish, guilt-free my friends.
All the Best,

Hello Dana!
Each serving of this recipe is approximately 1 1/2 cups. You are so welcome, enjoy the Mango Jicama Slaw!!
I loooooooooove mangoes so this recipe was a no-brainer to make. It was super easy and so full of flavor. Thank you for sharing!
Since Jicama & green cabbage in my stores come in various sizes, would you be so kind as to recommend serving sizes (i.e., 1/2 c., 1 c. etc) of each ingredient VS 1/2 cabbage, 1/4 jicama..... Thanks so very much. I really want to duplicate YOUR RECIPE to the T! 😉
Hi Judith!
Thank you so much for making the Mango Jicama Slaw, it is delish!
1/2 of a medium green cabbage will yield about 6 cups of shredded cabbage.
1/4 of a medium jicama will yield will yield about 3 cups. Hope that helps, enjoy!
