Alpha Gal Friendly Asian Cabbage Slaw

This vibrant slaw is a riot of color and crunch, layering shredded green and red cabbage with julienned carrots, scallions, and fresh cilantro into something that looks as good as it tastes. The real magic is in the dressing — coconut aminos, fresh lime juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, and grated ginger come together into something tangy, a little sweet, and deeply savory without a drop of soy sauce or anything that could trigger a reaction. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, the challenge is often hidden animal-derived ingredients lurking in condiments and sauces, but every single component here is plant-based and straightforward to verify. Avocado oil and coconut aminos do the heavy lifting in place of the usual suspects, so you get that bold, umami-forward flavor without any compromise. A short rest lets the cabbage soften just enough to soak up all that dressing, and a handful of fresh mint scattered over the top right before serving takes it somewhere genuinely special. Serve it as a side, pile it onto tacos, or eat it straight from the bowl — it holds up beautifully and only gets better as it sits.
