2. Use a mango cutter, and dice mango into small diced cubes.

4. In a large bowl, toss green cabbage, jicama, and mango.
5. Pour dressing, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Mango Jicama Slaw Ingredients:

Beautiful Keitt 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!

Keitt Mango

A Keitt Mango a large-sized mango, and they are fully ripe when green.  You can tell they are ripe when the Keitt mango is soft when pressed slightly. Keitt Mangos are left on the tree longer than other varieties, producing a very sweet fruit. They are also less fibrous than most mango varieties, and Keitt Mangos have a creamier texture which is perfect for a slaw salad.

Selecting Mangos

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

Wash with cool water and a quick spray of vinegar. Peel and cut fruit away from the flat seed in the center.

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 2 lb mango!

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.

Sharp stainless steel blades slice cleanly through the mango and leave almost nothing behind on the large flat seed.

Each side piece of the mango is the part you want to use for recipes or snacking.

Next, use a butter knife, and slice into a grid through each mango half.

Then 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,
