24 HOUR MARINATED CARROTS

2 lb. carrots, sliced,1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper.
1 med. onion diced, 1 green pepper diced, 1 can tomato soup
1/2 cup cooking oil (I like olive oil.) 1 c. sugar, 1/2 to 3/4th-cup vinegar
1 tsp. prepared mustard,1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce.

Cook carrots until tender only (don’t over cook you want them to still be firm) Drain.

In a saucepan combine tomato soup, oil, vinegar and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil only enough to dissolve sugar and then let cool. After mixture has cooled, pour over the cooked carrots, onions and bell peppers.

For best results prepare 24 hours ahead of time. This salad can be served cold or hot, depending if you want it for a salad or vegetable dish. Marinated carrot salad lasts for up to seven days in the fridge.
Salad also freezes well if you want to use it as a hot main dish.

The night before, toast sesame seeds and almonds in separate pans until golden. Watch carefully so they don’t get too brown.
