Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the peanuts.
- Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to avoid burning, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chili powder, lime juice, and sugar.
- Whisk the mixture together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the julienned carrots, sliced shallots, and red bell pepper strips.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetables.
- Toss everything together until well coated.
- Roughly chop the toasted peanuts and sprinkle them over the salad.
- Give the salad one final gentle toss to distribute the peanuts evenly.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
Tips:
- For added protein, consider adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu to the salad.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
- To keep the peanuts crunchy, add them just before serving.
- If you prefer a sweeter dressing, you can increase the amount of sugar or add a touch of honey.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Use a vegetable peeler to julienne the carrots easily, or buy pre-shredded carrots to save time.
This Thai-style vegetable salad is not only delicious but also quick to prepare. It's an excellent way to enjoy fresh vegetables in a tangy and spicy dressing. Serve it immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the vegetables.
