Betty's Favorite Carrot Salad

Betty demonstrates how to make Favorite Carrot Salad. This is a side dish that can accompany almost any entree. It's healthy, too!

Favorite Carrot Salad

1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped green pepper
1 medium onion, sliced thinly in half-slices
1 teaspoon celery seeds
½ cup sugar
½ cup white vinegar
½ cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Place carrots in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cook carrots in the microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain off any water that has settled. Add celery, green pepper, onion, and celery seeds to carrots. Toss lightly and set aside. Combine sugar, vinegar, water, and vegetable oil in a small saucepan, mixing well. Bring to a boil, stirring continually. Pour over vegetables. Toss lightly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 8 hours or overnight. To serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer vegetables to serving bowl, saving the marinade to pour over any leftover vegetables. This is a nutritious, healthy salad that I think you will enjoy! --Betty ♥
