Lupin Free Smoky Paprika Cabbage and Carrot Slaw
This vibrant slaw is all about bold, warming flavor packed into a simple bowl of fresh vegetables. Smoked paprika and cumin give the dressing a deep, almost campfire-like richness, while a touch of honey and apple cider vinegar keep things bright and balanced. Turmeric adds a gorgeous golden hue that makes the whole dish look as good as it tastes. The cabbage and carrots soften just enough after a short rest, soaking up every bit of that spiced dressing without losing their satisfying crunch. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from lupin — no flour blends, no legume-based fillers, nothing hidden in a store-bought sauce to second-guess. A scatter of pumpkin seeds on top adds a nutty finish that takes it from side dish to something you'll want to eat straight from the bowl. It's the kind of slaw that works alongside grilled proteins, tucked into wraps, or simply on its own as a light and punchy lunch.
