High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Ginger-Lime Cabbage & Carrot Slaw
This vibrant slaw is a riot of color and crunch, with shredded green and red cabbage, sweet grated carrot, scallions, and fresh cilantro all tangled together in one gorgeous bowl. The dressing is where the magic happens — bright lime juice and zest, grated fresh ginger, a touch of honey, and coconut aminos create a punchy, layered flavor that tastes anything but simple. Coconut aminos steps in as the savory backbone here, which is a smart swap since conventional soy sauces and bottled dressings are notorious for sneaking in unwanted sweeteners. Every ingredient in this recipe is straightforward and whole, so you know exactly what's going into the bowl without having to squint at a label. A short ten-minute rest lets the cabbage relax and soak up all that gingery, citrusy goodness before you give it one final toss. It works beautifully as a side for grilled proteins, piled onto tacos, or honestly eaten straight from the bowl with a fork.
