Place the julienned carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped peanuts, sliced spring onions, fresh coriander, and sesame seeds (if using).
To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar, and sesame oil (if using). If you want a hint of heat, add the chopped chilli.
Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavours to meld, then give it a quick toss again. Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
