Tropical Mango Coleslaw
Dive into the vibrant flavors of the tropics with this refreshing Mango Coleslaw!

Perfect as a side for grilled meats or a light summer meal, this coleslaw not only tantalizes your taste buds but also brings a splash of color to your table. Historically, coleslaw has its roots in ancient Roman times, where cabbage was combined with eggs and vinegar, evolving into the creamy versions we enjoy today. This tropical twist pays homage to those origins while celebrating the flavors of fresh, tropical fruit.
