THAI SALAD WITH CILANTRO LIME DRESSING

Thai Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing image

I created this salad to replicate one I tried on a cruise several years ago. It goes over very well at family gatherings and potlucks year-round. We love the spice of the Thai chile, but if your family isn't into spice, feel free to leave it out. It will still be delicious! —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Tips:

Use a variety of colors of carrots for a more visually appealing salad.
Grate the carrots using a large or medium-sized grater. This will help them absorb the dressing better.
Be sure to julienne the carrots if you want a more traditional carrot salad.
Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice will not taste as good.
Add some chopped cilantro to the salad for a pop of freshness.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

Carrot salad with lime and cilantro is a light and refreshing salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this salad is a great option for busy weeknights or potlucks.
