A very nice carrot salad! We enjoyed the smoky flavour of the mustard seeds, and the hint of spice from the chili complimented but did not over power. We added just a touch of rice vinegar, as we found there was not quite enough acid from the lemon. Next time we make this we will add a little extra of the toasted mustard seeds. Thanks very much for this tasty salad.

I like to eat a variety of food so have lots of different kinds of recipes that I have added and reviewed. Probably the favorite foods that I have reviewed are the ones with Nutella in the ingredients.
