Method

To make the salad, peel the carrots and cucumber with a ribbon peeler, then drag it lengthways to make long ribbons of the flesh. Stop when you get to the lighter centre of the carrot, and the seeds of the cucumber. Toss the ribbons with the white cabbage, little gem, red onion and chicken.
To make the dressing, mix all the ingredients together, then pour this over the salad. Toss through most of the peanuts and most of the coriander. To serve, place in bowls with the remaining peanuts and coriander scattered over, and lime wedges on the side.
