Brazil Nut Free Turmeric-Ginger Carrot Slaw
This vibrant slaw is a riot of color and flavor — shredded cabbage and grated carrots get tossed in a golden dressing built from turmeric, fresh ginger, apple cider vinegar, and honey. The result is bright, a little tangy, and just sweet enough to keep you going back for another forkful. A short ten-minute rest after dressing lets the cabbage soften slightly and the flavors meld into something that tastes far more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Scallion greens and fresh cilantro add a pop of freshness, while optional pumpkin seeds bring a satisfying crunch to finish it off. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additions sneaking into your bowl. It works beautifully as a side alongside grilled proteins, tucked into tacos, or piled on top of grain bowls for a weeknight dinner that comes together with almost no effort.
