"This really is refreshing and a good palate cleanser. No one flavor is overpowering, they all blend well, and it is just a nice light-tasting salad. I used pre-shredded carrots and chopped up a fair a..." See moremount of cilantro. Mixed/tossed rather than layered the salad. I do wonder whether it might have been a little easier to eat if I had followed the recipe and shaved the carrots myself. The store bought carrot shreds were more like matchsticks and were a little hard to pick up. Thanks!"
