The story of these Cabbage and Carrot Slaw Burritos with Vegan Ranch Dressing begins in the rolling hills of Tuscany, where I spent a summer cooking at a small trattoria. I was there to learn the art of Italian cuisine, but I also fell in love with the local produce. The tomatoes were so ripe and juicy, the basil was so fragrant, and the olive oil was so rich and flavorful. I couldn't get enough of it. One day, I was making a salad for the restaurant when I had an idea. I thought, "What if I used some of these fresh vegetables to make a slaw?" I had never made slaw before, but I figured it couldn't be too hard. I shredded some cabbage, carrots, and red onion, and I tossed it with a simple vinaigrette. The slaw was delicious! It was crunchy, refreshing, and flavorful. I knew I had to share it with the world. When I got back to the States, I started experimenting with different slaw recipes. I tried different vegetables, different dressings, and different spices. Eventually, I came up with this recipe for Cabbage and Carrot Slaw Burritos with Vegan Ranch Dressing.
