INSTRUCTIONS
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. >*Recipe from A Taste of Heaven and Earth by Bettina Vitell (Harper Collins: 1993) Bettina's url : www.e-media.com/taste >Pat Hanneman (Kitpath) Notes: When Bettina first tasted this salad in a Thai restaurant where it was served with grilled salmon. It was so delicious I decided to invent my own, using the flavors of fresh cilantro, limes, mint, peanuts, and hot chilis. Be careful with the chili flakes -- this salad can get too hot!
