Carrot Cabbage Slaw with Cumin Vinaigrette

This vibrant carrot and cabbage slaw with cumin vinaigrette is a refreshing addition to any plant-based spread. By using the carrot tops as a herb, this recipe embraces a sustainable, root-to-stem approach that adds a delicate, earthy flavour to the salad. The combination of sweet carrots and crunchy Savoy cabbage provides a wonderful textural contrast, all tied together by a smoky, toasted cumin dressing that feels both light and deeply aromatic.

As a versatile vegan side dish, this slaw is the perfect partner for grilled vegetables, pulses, or as a crunchy topping for flatbreads. Letting the salad sit for half an hour before serving allows the vinaigrette to soften the cabbage slightly, resulting in a more cohesive and flavourful dish. It is a simple, healthy way to elevate seasonal produce for a midweek lunch or a weekend gathering.
