Almond Free Ginger-Lime Cabbage & Carrot Slaw
This bright, crunchy slaw is the kind of side dish that makes everything on the plate taste more alive. Shredded green and red cabbage, grated carrots, scallions, and fresh cilantro come together in a bowl that's as colorful as it is satisfying. The dressing is where the real magic happens — fresh lime juice and zest, grated ginger, coconut aminos, and a touch of honey create something tangy, savory, and just a little sweet all at once. Many store-bought slaws and bottled dressings sneak in nut-based oils or are processed on shared equipment, so making this one from scratch gives you total peace of mind with every bite. Everything here is naturally free of tree nuts, and the ingredient list is short enough that you can pull it together without much fuss. A quick ten-minute rest lets the cabbage soften just enough to soak up all that gingery, citrusy dressing before you toss it one final time and serve. It works beautifully alongside grilled proteins, tucked into tacos, or honestly just eaten straight from the bowl.
