Peanut Free Carrot Raisin Slaw
Bright, tangy, and just a little sweet, 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 dressing built from apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon — and the result is genuinely addictive. A short rest lets the carrots soften slightly and the raisins drink up all that flavor, so the texture is perfectly tender without turning mushy. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with a quick whisk and a toss, no cooking required. Store-bought slaws often sneak in unexpected additives or are processed on shared lines with tree nuts and peanuts, so making this at home with straightforward pantry staples is a real win. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a herby lift that rounds everything out beautifully.
