Paleo Carrot Raisin Slaw
This vibrant slaw is a refreshing reminder that eating clean doesn't mean eating boring. Coarsely grated carrots and plump raisins get tossed in a bright, fragrant dressing built from apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon — and the result is something genuinely craveable. A short rest at room temperature lets the carrots soften just slightly and the raisins soak up all that tangy-sweet flavor, so every bite is perfectly balanced. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with nothing but whole, unprocessed ingredients, which is exactly what makes it such a natural fit for grain-free and legume-free eating. Store-bought slaws often sneak in canola oil, added sugars, or preservatives, so making your own means you know exactly what's going in. Finish it with a scatter of fresh parsley for a little color and herbal lift, and you've got a side dish that works just as well alongside grilled chicken as it does straight from the bowl.
