Macadamia Free Carrot Raisin Slaw
This vibrant slaw hits that perfect sweet-tangy balance that makes you want to go back for another forkful. Freshly grated carrots and plump raisins form the base, then get tossed in a bright dressing of apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon — it's warm, zippy, and a little unexpected. A short rest at room temperature is all it takes for the carrots to soften just enough and the raisins to soak up all that flavor. Many slaws rely on nuts for crunch and richness, but this one proves you don't need them — the natural sweetness of the carrots and raisins does all the heavy lifting. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, making it an easy win for weeknight dinners or potluck spreads. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a herby finish that ties everything together beautifully.
