What Makes It So Filipino 🇵🇭

sweet (coconut sugar),
salty–umami (soy sauce, danggit),
spicy (siling labuyo),
and fresh (wansoy).
It’s like ensaladang mangga reinvented as a crunchy summer salad.

Tips for the Best Texture & Flavour ✨

Chill the slaw before serving for extra crispness.
Wear gloves when handling siling labuyo.
Swap danggit with crispy dilis or toasted garlic if needed.
Add the danggit right before serving to keep it crunchy.

How It Comes Together 🥗

Prepare the Vegetables

Shred the mango and carrot, julienne the cucumber, and finely chop the siling labuyo and wansoy. Add everything to a mixing bowl.

Make the Dressing

Whisk cane vinegar, coconut sugar, soy sauce, calamansi juice, and oil until the sugar dissolves.

Toss & Serve

Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well. Top with crispy danggit just before serving.

Perfect Pairings 🍽️

This slaw goes especially well with:

Inihaw na liempo
Grilled or air-fried chicken
Fried tilapia or bangus

BBQ plates and party spreads

It also makes a great crunchy topping for rice bowls or roasted meats.
