Tangy carrot salad

Jul 31, 2011 23:59

This was supposed to be the filling of my meatball lettuce wraps, but it soon became clear that we were going to have too much meat, so I just put this out as an additional salad. I think I will make it again just on its own, or maybe as a spring roll filling. It's a nice change of pace from the traditional French carrot salad that I usually make.
  • juice of 2 limes
  • 3 cups shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (I bet basil or mint would be good, if you don't have cilantro)
  • 2 thinly-sliced green onions
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Toss all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and chill at least a few hours before serving. The flavors intensify if chilled overnight.
