Fresh Carrot Salad with Turmeric

Use turmeric in the dressing for this savory carrot salad recipe.

This delicious and filling carrot salad could be a side dish or a light summer luncheon. Shredded carrots are mixed with chopped tomatoes, shredded coconut, peanut powder, and lemon juice, then served with a dollop of chaunk, an Indian-style dressing that's made by heating mustard and cumin seeds with turmeric, chopped green chilies, and fresh cilantro (if desired) in oil.
