Oats Free Carrot Raisin Slaw
Bright, tangy, and just a little sweet, this carrot and raisin slaw is the kind of side dish that disappears fast at any table. The dressing is a simple whisk-together blend of apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a touch of warm Ceylon cinnamon — and it transforms humble grated carrots into something genuinely craveable. A short rest lets the raisins plump up and the carrots soften just enough to soak in all that flavor without losing their satisfying bite. Many packaged slaws and store-bought dressings sneak in unexpected grains or thickeners, so making this from scratch means you know exactly what's in the bowl. Every ingredient here is naturally grain-free, so it fits easily into a wide range of eating styles without any swaps or substitutions required. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley if you want a little color and herby brightness, or skip it and let the ginger-cinnamon dressing do all the talking.
