The carrot and ginger slaw is a dish that has been passed down through my family for generations. My great-grandmother, who was born in the Philippines, used to make this slaw as a side dish for her family's Sunday dinners. The slaw was always a hit, and my grandmother and mother continued to make it as well. I learned how to make the slaw from my mother, and I've been making it ever since. I love the bright and flavorful taste of the slaw, and I think it's the perfect side dish for any occasion.
