Coronation Coleslaw Prep Time 20 mins Total Time 20 mins Servings 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

    1 (16-ounce) bag coleslaw mix     1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste     1 large mango, somewhat ripe to ripe     2 green onions     3 tablespoons mayonnaise     2 tablespoons plain yogurt or sour cream     1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice     2 teaspoons yellow curry powder     1/3 cup raisins (any kind), currants, or chopped dates     1/2 cup toasted cashews, roughly chopped     1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

    Salt the coleslaw mix and prepare the mango:     Add the slaw mix to a colander and toss with the salt. Let sit and drain for 10 minutes.     While the slaw sits, prep the mango and green onions. Peel the mango and cut the flesh off of the pit. Cut into rough matchsticks.     Trim the green onions and thinly slice. Set aside.

    Rinse and drain the coleslaw mix:     After 10 minutes, rinse the slaw mix under cool water. Drain and dump out on a dry kitchen towel. Gently pat dry and set aside.

    Make the dressing:     Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, and curry powder to a medium bowl (with enough room to mix together the slaw). Stir together until combined.

    Assemble:     To the bowl with the dressing, add the dried slaw mix, prepared mango, green onions (reserving a few slices of dark green for garnish), raisins, cashews (if using), and pepper. Toss well and taste, adding salt and/or more curry powder if needed.
