Carrot Mango Slaw


My friend Betti brought this salad to a friend's cabin recently. 
 I enjoyed it so much I asked her if I could share the recipe with all of you.
She graciously agreed so here it is.


On a personal note: It's my oldest son's birthday today.
Happy Birthday Tim! (You'll like this salad Tim!)

  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest

  3. In spite of Anneliese's expert pictorial on cutting a mango, I never seem to end up with anything but mush. I may substitute green papaya for the mango. I know I'll love it. I've had something similar which was called Vietnamese
    Green Papaya salad which included Fish Sauce in the dressing, and I'm going to try that too when I make this.
