-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 carrots
4 scallions
1 red chile -- long
1 green chile -- long
1 bunch fresh cilantro -- small
For the dressing:
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce
1 teaspoon superfine sugar -- or substitute

Peel the carrots, cut into long thin slices, and then julienne them (i.e. cut into matchstick-like strips).

Trim and halve the scallions and julienne as well.

Seed the chiles and cut into juliennes, then finely chop the cilantro.

Combine all the julienned vegetables and the chopped cilantro in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the lime juice, fish sauce, and superfine sugar, and dress the vegetables with this.

Serves 6

AuthorNote: Although I do pick at salad straight from the refrigerator if I'm lucky enough to have any left over, I advise you to make it at the last minute, ... as you're about to plate up. You could use half of the salad to cover the serving dish of stew (Asian Braised Shin of Beef) and let people strew more on their plates as they eat.

ChupaNote: Wonderful as a bed for an everything baked potato, or on top of buckwheat kasha, or roasted whole wheat orzo.
