I got this recipe from the cook at my favorite Thai restaurant in Cincinnati. His carrot salad was one of his most popular salads/appetizers, people would buy multiple orders to go so they could bring this as a take along dish to an event. This is even better made a day ahead.

Place grated carrots in a large bowl.

Remove saucepan from heat and cool dressing completely, about 30 minutes.

Stir lime juice and red pepper flakes into dressing and pour over carrots.

Add peanuts and toss to coat.

Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
