Oriental Carrot Salad
This is an interesting salad. The ginger and lemon gives it a just a bit of kick; the raisins add sweetness. The carrots add crunch. The peanuts are reminiscent of many Thai dishes.
We went easy on the seasoning. You may wish to add a little more lemon and ginger.

1 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon finely ground fresh ginger
2 cups matchstick carrots
2/3 cup bean sprouts
