2 cups shredded carrots
2 cups pea shoots (bean sprouts may be substituted)
1 cup diced English cucumber
1/4 cup scallions, minced
1 cup peanuts, chopped
Salt and pepper
1-2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Place all dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until uniformly mixed (add 1-2 Tablespoons water if too thick).
