Pescatarian Ginger-Lime Cabbage & Carrot Slaw
Bright, tangy, and loaded with crunch, this slaw is the kind of side dish that quietly steals the show at any meal. Two kinds of cabbage and freshly grated carrots give it serious texture, while scallions and cilantro add a fresh, herby lift that makes every bite feel alive. The dressing is where the magic happens — fresh lime juice and zest, grated ginger, and coconut aminos come together into something punchy and a little complex without requiring much effort at all. Coconut aminos keep things naturally soy-free and mellow, letting the ginger and lime do the heavy lifting. A touch of honey rounds out the acidity just enough so nothing feels sharp or one-note. After a short rest, the cabbage softens slightly and soaks up all that flavor, which means the slaw only gets better as it sits. It pairs beautifully alongside grilled fish or seafood, making it a natural fit for pescatarian meals that deserve a vibrant, no-fuss accompaniment.
