Sesame Free Carrot Raisin Slaw
Bright, sweet, and tangy all at once, this carrot and raisin slaw is the kind of side dish that disappears fast at any table. The dressing is a simple whisk-together situation — apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, fresh ginger, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon — and it transforms humble grated carrots into something genuinely craveable. Letting the slaw rest for a few minutes before serving is the secret move here: the carrots soften just enough and the raisins plump up beautifully in the dressing. Many store-bought slaws and bottled dressings sneak in tahini or sesame oil, so making this one from scratch means you know exactly what's in the bowl. Every ingredient is straightforward and easy to source, with zero hidden surprises. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a little color and a clean, herby finish that ties everything together. It works alongside grilled proteins, tucked into wraps, or honestly just eaten straight from the bowl with a fork.
