AIP Friendly Carrot Raisin Slaw
Bright, sweet, and just a little tangy, this carrot raisin slaw is the kind of side dish that disappears fast — and it comes together in minutes with no cooking required. The dressing is where the magic happens: apple cider vinegar and honey balance each other beautifully, while freshly grated ginger and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon add warmth and depth that make this feel anything but plain. Every ingredient here is clean and compliant, which is genuinely rare for a creamy-style slaw that usually leans on mayonnaise or seed-based oils. Olive oil steps in as the base instead, giving the dressing a silky body that clings to every strand of carrot. A short 10-minute rest lets the raisins plump and the carrots soften just enough to make the texture irresistible. It serves four and works beautifully alongside grilled proteins or as a light lunch on its own. Scatter some fresh parsley over the top before serving and it looks as good as it tastes.
