Thai Carrot Salad with Peanuts Serves 4
3 cups grated carrots;
Chili Vinaigrette; 1/4 cup rice vinegar; 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice; 1 tablespoon orange zest; 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro ; 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup; 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes;
1 cup chopped peanuts; Finely chopped fresh mint, for garnish
In a food processor, blend all the vinaigrette ingredients. Add the chili flakes last, adding them a little at a time to taste. Wash the carrots with a brush and grate into a large bowl. Add half the dressing, saving the rest for another use; it will keep, refrigerated, for up to 1 week. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped peanuts and mint.
