Alpha Gal Friendly Carrot Raisin Slaw
Bright, sweet, and tangy all at once, this carrot raisin slaw is the kind of side dish that disappears fast at any table. Freshly grated carrots get tossed with plump raisins and a zippy apple cider vinegar dressing spiked with honey, fresh ginger, and warm Ceylon cinnamon — it's simple but genuinely exciting. Managing alpha-gal syndrome means staying vigilant about mammalian products hiding in unexpected places, and this recipe keeps things completely clean with plant-based ingredients and olive oil as the fat. There's no dairy, no meat, and no ambiguous additives to second-guess — just whole, recognizable foods from start to finish. A short rest lets the carrots soften just enough and the raisins plump beautifully, so the texture is as satisfying as the flavor. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a herby lift that ties everything together. It's an easy, crowd-pleasing dish you can bring to a cookout or weeknight dinner without a single worry.
