How do you store summer slaw?

Make ahead and keep in the fridge for a few hours before serving. We don’t recommend making and storing overnight, because the slaw (cucumbers and mango) can get a little soft.

Serve fresh the day of – the best!

But … you can prep the night before. I would add the dressing right before serving.

Of course, leftovers are great in wraps or sandwiches the next day.

How do you make a mango salad dressing?

This salad dressing is more of a vinaigrette.

In a small bowl, add the sesame oil, seeds, rice vinegar, sugar, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), fish sauce, lime, and salt. Whisk together until blended.

Optional to mash up some mango and add to the dressing for a more “mango” flavor.

This quote sums up hosting … it’s never a waste of time. Never.

“For is there any practice less selfish, any labor less alienated, any time less wasted, than preparing something delicious and nourishing for people you love?” ― Michael Pollan

Something always fantastic comes from having people over, whether the words spoken, stories shared, recipe inspired, or even physical touch.

That doesn’t mean I’m not doing last-minute things. Hosting is never perfect, and timing always gets off, at least for me.

We love to hug our guests when they walk through the door! You, too?
