Place the grated carrots in a salad bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them. Wrap the peanuts in a kitchen towel, mash them with a rolling pin, and add them to the salad bowl. Finely chop the garlic and chili pepper. Squeeze the lime and squeeze the juice into a container. Quarter the rest of the lime and add it to the carrots. Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, and chili to the lime juice and mix well. Then pour over the carrot salad and mix thoroughly. Let it sit for a moment and serve. Don’t eat the leftover lime; it’s just for flavor. The carrots absorb the chili peppers very well, giving the salad just the right amount of heat.
