Ft. Myers, Florida

 

Marinated Carrot salad

 

 

bullet

1 pound carrots, sliced diagonally

bullet

1 cup chopped celery

bullet

1/2 cup chopped green pepper

bullet

1 small onion, thinly sliced

bullet

1 teaspoon celery seeds

bullet

1 cup sugar

bullet

1/2 cup vinegar

bullet

1/2 cup water

bullet

1/3 cup vegetable oil

 

Cook carrots in boiling salted water about 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain well.

Place carrots, celery, green pepper, onion, and celery seeds in a large shallow dish; toss lightly and set aside.

Combine remaining ingredients in small saucepan, mixing well; bring to a boil, stirring often. Pour over vegetables; cover and chill until cold.

NOTE: I found this in Southern Living years and years ago---probably back in the 70s. I use tarragon vinegar simply because I like the flavor. The recipe did not give a time for boiling the marinade, so I just do it a few minutes until I feel all the flavors are well combined. I also put my vegetables in a flat Tupperware container so I can put a lid on them and turn them back and forth while they are getting cold. It says it will serve six, but it'll serve more than that.
