Mango and Mung Bean Sprout Slaw

This was a light but flavorful slaw that Chef Jesse served with some sous vide chicken, green curry rice and wok charred vegetables. Don't worry about getting a ripe mango for this slaw, since you actually want a greenish mango which are usually plentiful that to market during the summer. This would go great with any BBQ or asian flavored meats. I will post the recipe for the brine for the pickled carrots as well.
