friederike from Berlin,

A very good salad. DH isn't usually a fan of carrot salads, as he thinks they are prone to dry out. My guess is that in contrast to other salads, it's important in this case to add the dressing right away, instead of at the very last minute. This salad, in any case, was delicious and not dry at all, and DH was impressed that everything Ms Segnit said about how the flavours would work was absolutely true.

We did modify it slightly; we added a half tsp extra red wine and an extra dash of sesame oil (or two), and we roasted the peanuts. Even though we used salted peanuts, next time I would add some extra salt to them (not the salad).

Last, this is a very nice salad, but a bit monotonous for a lunch box. Better served alongside a larger meal.
