Carrageenan Free Carrot Raisin Slaw
Bright, sweet, and tangy all at once, this carrot and raisin slaw is the kind of side dish that disappears fast at any table. The dressing is a simple whisk-together situation — apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon — and it comes together in minutes with no cooking required. Carrageenan is a thickener and stabilizer that sneaks into a surprising number of store-bought dressings and condiments, so making your own from scratch is the cleanest way to stay clear of it entirely. Every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, so you know exactly what's going into the bowl. A short rest lets the carrots soften just enough and the raisins plump beautifully in the dressing, which means the texture is as good as the flavor. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley if you want a little color and herby lift. It works as a weeknight side, a potluck contribution, or a bright addition to any grain bowl situation.
