Pistachio 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 where the magic happens — apple cider vinegar and honey create a perfect sweet-tart balance, while freshly grated ginger and Ceylon cinnamon give it a warm, aromatic depth that feels anything but ordinary. Letting the slaw rest for a few minutes before serving is a small step that makes a big difference, softening the carrots just enough and plumping the raisins so every bite is juicy and tender. The whole thing comes together with a quick whisk and a toss, no cooking required. It's naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no need to scan labels or worry about what might be lurking in a store-bought version. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and a herby finish that makes it feel a little more dressed up. Serve it alongside grilled chicken, pile it into a wrap, or just eat it straight from the bowl — no judgment here.
