24-Hour Copper Pennies

⏱ 60 mins 🍽 8 serving(s) 🏷 Vegetable

This is a traditional marinated carrot salad known for its sweet and piquant flavour. The carrots are cooked until just tender, then combined with sliced vegetables and a dressing made from tomato soup, vinegar, sugar, and seasonings. After a brief cook, the mixture is cooled and must be refrigerated for a full 24 hours to allow the flavours to develop fully, making it an excellent prepare-ahead side dish.
