Fresh and Flavorful: Carrot-Ginger Dressing For Cabbage Slaw

OMG!!I am beyond excited to share this incredibly tasty dressing that completely transformed my cabbage slaw! It’s bright, zesty, and packed with fresh flavors. I simply shredded red and white cabbage, tossed it with a luscious carrot-ginger dressing, and finished it off with a generous sprinkle of freshly chopped mint.

And let me tell you—it tastes heavenly.

I love salads, but sometimes the usual dressings get a little… well, boring. This one? Total game-changer. It’s vibrant, refreshing, and adds the perfect kick to wake up your taste buds.

Versatile & Delicious

This dressing isn't just for slaw! I can totally see it drizzled over steamed veggies, mixed into a fresh tossed salad, or even used in wraps. I was inspired by a similar flavor that I’ve had at Chinese restaurants on their salad and decided to make my own—and wow, it did not disappoint.

If you’re sensitive to spice, feel free to dial back the ginger a bit. But personally? I love the warmth it brings.

I even wrapped up my slaw in seaweed and rice noodle wraps—and it was so good. Seriously, let your imagination run wild with this one!

My Backstory: 

Back on Track with Weight Watchers 🚢🍽️

After an indulgent year of travel—including two cruises and a trip to Europe—I found myself with an extra eight pounds that never quite budged. So, I’m officially back on Weight Watchers!

I love the structure, the encouragement, and the camaraderie of the program that keeps me focused—especially since eating out in restaurants is such a big part of life here in Florida.

This recipe is a perfect fit for my WW plan with just 1 estimated point per serving! With 23 points per day to indulge in and plenty of zero-point foods (like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins), I know I can make this work.

My goal? Lose those 8 pounds before our next cruise in May! 🤞🤞 Wish me luck!

Do you eat carrots ? 

Carrots are packed with nutrients, especially beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A—essential for good vision, a strong immune system, and healthy skin. They’re also high in fiber, which supports digestion, and contain antioxidants that help reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Plus, they’re low in calories, making them a great snack for weight management. 

Plant-Based Eating . Is It For You?

Being vegan for me is more than just a way of eating—it’s a lifestyle rooted in awareness, health, and compassion. For me, it’s about making choices that nourish my body while also being thoughtful to the rest of the planet and all who live on it.  

That’s why I love sharing plant-based recipes, hoping to inspire others to explore healthier, more intentional ways of eating. But I often wonder—does this resonate with you? Have you ever tried one of my recipes or thought about including more plant-based foods into your diet, even if you’re not vegan?

IN MY KITCHEN - MARCH 2025

I'm in my Florida condo for the winter season. I cook about 4 nights a week, and we eat out about 3 nights a week. It seems to be the way everyone socializes (and puts on weight). Of course the weather is warm, so it makes it easy to be out and about and even walk to some of the restaurants.   

I'm joining Sherry and other bloggers for In My Kitchen monthly blog share hosted by Sherry's Pickings where any blogger can join in! 

This is what has been going on in my kitchen this past month.
