Creamy Mango Coleslaw

Valentina P
This easy, refreshing slaw is just the right balance of spicy, sweet, creamy, and crunchy. Coleslaw purists may scoff at the addition of ripe mango, but the lucky ones who try it will know it's worth every juicy bite. Try it with grilled flank steak, barbecue chicken, cornbread, and/or a cold beer on a summer day.
