Mandalay Grated Carrot Salad

Grated carrot salads exist in many culinary traditions, but this one takes the prize. It has a beautiful light balance of flavors and is very refreshing.

I like eating carrot salad with rice, as if it were a cooked dish rather than a side salad. It’s a little salty, as rice accompaniments should be, with a bit of warmth from the minced chile.
