Ditch the Diet Wellness Blog

From Shelby Moose, Crossing Rivers Health Registered Dietitian

Ingredients

• 1 lb. carrots, peeled and sliced
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup white vinegar
• ½ cup oil
• ½ can (10 ¾ oz.) condensed tomato soup
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• Several shakes Worcestershire sauce
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• ½ cup celery, diced
• ½ cup green pepper, diced
• ½ cup onion, diced small or rings as pictured

Instructions

1. Bring a pot of water to boiling, add the carrots, and cook for 4-5 minutes. You want the carrots to be tender but still firm. Remove from heat, drain and rinse with cold water until the carrots have cooled.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, vinegar, soup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce and mix together until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the marinade from heat and let cool for 15 minutes or so.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the carrots, celery, green pepper, and onion.
4. Pour the marinade over the veggies, stir well, cover, and refrigerate overnight so that the flavors have a chance to blend together.
5. Serve as a side dish or as a main dish.
