Mango Bell Pepper Summer Slaw is a cool and crisp side dish perfect to beat the summer heat! It is healthy, detoxing and low fat. You’ll find yourself eating it all by yourself, because it’s that good! 

I have recently been focusing more on recipes using mangoes because it’s raining mangoes in my house! We have a mango tree in our backyard and every year it gives so many mangoes, that are sweet and juicy! So I am trying my best to make the most of them this mango season. 

Tip – If you are in a situation like me and don’t know what to do with so many mangoes, I have a tip for you to make them last all season! Simply chop them, put them in ziplock pouches and freeze them for upto 6 months! 

I simply love healthy clean tropical textures and flavours. This summer slaw is one of them which makes a perfect healthy side dish or salad, adding brightness and lightness to meals! It can also be made ahead, and kept for days! Simple to toss, clean and detoxifying, this healthy salad is one to add to your summer menus.

Simply look at these fresh ingredients! 

How to make this Mango Bell Pepper Summer Slaw your own

There are a few ways you can adapt this easy summer salad and make it perfect for your taste buds. Here are some idea – 

• If you prefer your salads spicy, add in some diced jalapeños or bird eye chilli. If you like it really spicy, leave in the seeds of the pepper. But, if you like a little heat but not as much, then simply use the flesh of the peppers and leave the seeds out. 
  
• If you don’t have fresh lemon juice available, use apple cider vinegar or distilled vinegar. But I always prefer using freshly squeezed lemon juice as it adds more flavour to the salad. But the vinegar will give the slaw the acidity it needs. 
  
• If you are not a cilantro lover, no issues! You and I will get along very well! You can leave them out, it won’t make much of a difference. Add mint leaves instead. 
  
• If you want to get slightly more creative, add in some diced avocados, pineapples or chopped tomatoes. If you are using avocados I suggest you add it immediately prior to before serving the slaw to prevent any browning.
