Ingredients

3 to 4 large carrots, peeled
1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 shallot, thinly sliced lengthwise
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon Sriracha

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 clove garlic, finely grated
10 to 12 fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
8 basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

Use a vegetable peeler to shave the carrots into thin wide ribbons; discard the last thick strip. Transfer the carrot ribbons to a large bowl, fill with ice water and let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the cucumber and shallot in a colander, sprinkle with salt and let drain, 10 minutes. Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha, brown sugar, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl.
Drain the carrots, blot dry with paper towels and transfer to a serving bowl. Press the cucumber and shallot in the colander with your hands to remove any excess liquid; pat dry with paper towels and add to the carrots. Add the mint and basil and toss to combine. Drizzle the peanut dressing over the salad and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for crisp frisée, tender French beans, and flavorful cilantro.
Don't overcook the beans: French beans should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the salad immediately: Frisée salad is best served immediately after it is made. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This frisée salad with French beans and spicy peanut dressing is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve this salad as a main course or side dish. It is also a great option for a packed lunch or picnic.
