  3. Pour the dressing over the mango and vegetable mixture. Gently toss the ingredients together until well-coated.
  4. Let the slaw sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Serve the Mango Slaw chilled or at room temperature, optionally adding toppings like diced avocado or chopped nuts.
