Peanut Free Turmeric-Ginger Beet & Cabbage Slaw

This vibrant slaw is a riot of color and bold, earthy flavor — shredded red cabbage, grated beet, and carrot come together in a bowl that looks almost too pretty to eat. The dressing is where the magic happens: a golden-orange blend of turmeric, fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice that's bright, warming, and just a little tangy. A short 10-minute rest lets the cabbage soften slightly and soak up every bit of that spiced dressing, so the flavors genuinely meld rather than just sitting on top. Fresh cilantro and scallion greens keep things lively, and a handful of raw pumpkin seeds adds a satisfying crunch at the end. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut-derived oils, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just straightforward, wholesome produce and pantry staples. It works beautifully as a side dish alongside grilled proteins, tucked into wraps, or piled on top of grain bowls when you want something fresh and punchy.
