Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp carrots. Avoid carrots that are wilted or have brown spots.
- If you don't have roasted peanuts on hand, you can make your own by roasting unsalted peanuts in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare all of the ingredients and store them separately in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, simply combine the ingredients and toss to coat.
- This salad is also a great way to use up leftover roasted chicken or tofu. Simply add the cooked chicken or tofu to the salad along with the other ingredients.

Gujarati Carrot and Peanut Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover roasted chicken or tofu. With its crunchy carrots, creamy peanuts, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
