  3. In a separate small bowl, take the lime juice and mix it with honey, whisking until fully combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over your mixed vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  5. Allow your Mango Slaw to sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors integrate.
  6. Once the slaw has marinated, scoop it into a colorful serving bowl and enjoy!
